27 days ago, I had a biopsy for two large lumps in my left breast and one in my armpit. At that time, I was told it’s most likely cancer, but I had to wait for the results. Today, after 27 long and difficult days, I finally received the report: Stage 3, HER2-positive breast cancer.

I honestly don’t know why these 27 days felt like an entire year. Ever since I first heard the word “cancer,” my mind has been locked, 

If anyone here has had a similar diagnosis, I would be so grateful to hear your experiences and encouragement. I truly need some hope and strength right now. RosePray

  • Hi I'm in a similar position HER2 positive and it took from the end of June until mid August to get the results! 

    Chemo starts 22nd September to shrink the lump and then a review in December when I'm in the middle of the chemo. Then it'll be surgery and radiotherapy.

    Everyone I've seen at the hospital have been very positive but it's such a lot to take in initially. 

    I registered here yesterday so that I can ask for help and advice. 

    I'm sure people who are going through this will help on here. 

  • Hi, welcome to the club that no one wants to join. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but you've found a good place here for support. 

    I was diagnosed with HER positive cancer in 2021. I had chemo, lumpectomy, radiotherapy and am on letrozole meds and 6 monthly zoledronic acid infusions.

    I'm back at work full time and have an active job with lots of travel.  Whilst treatment was tough, I found it very do-able.

    I blogged throughout, if you have some time to read it, this might be helpful for you. Blog link
