Hi BFAeee2Be
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is very treatable these days and while I won't say it's easy chemo is doable and you get all the help you will need to try to prevent any side effects.
I've been diagnosed with breast cancer twice, the first time over five years ago at the height of Covid and it was grade 3. After having chemo, surgery and radiotherapy I made a full recovery. The second time I was diagnosed was over 2 years ago and again with treatment I made a full recovery and I've been cancer free for just over 2 years. I had very few side effects and I managed to get out for a walk most days during treatment.
Feel free to pop on anytime you are feeling scared as there is nearly always someone around who will be able to give you support.
Wishing you the best of luck with chemo and hopefully you won't have any side effects.
Best wishes
Daisy53
