Hey Wave

New to this. Got diagnosed on 30th Sept 2025. First chemo was 3rd Nov, 2nd chemo was 21st Nov. Due 2 more doses, then Doxetaxel & the receptor hormone (Herceptin?). Then probably mastectomy.

My diagnosis is 2 lumps in right breast plus 1 lymph node:

A) Right breast - Core grade 3 invasive carcinoma with micropapillary architecture, B5b - ER 0/8 , HER2 3+

B) Right breast - Core grade 3 invasive carcinoma with micropapillary architecture, B5b - HER2 3+

C) Right axillary lymph node - Metastatic carcinoma  - ER2/8 , HER2 3+

Invasive breast cancer, grade 3, that is oestrogen receptor negative and Herceptin (HER2) positive.

Clinical stage from 25/9/2025: Stage IIB (cT2, cN1, cM0, G3, ER: Negative, HER2: Positive)

Grade 3 invasive carcinoma with micropapillary architecture - ER 0/8 , HER2 3+

Not a lot / none of this makes sense to me! Can anyone explain in laymans terms? I get the feeling I should stop reading all the letters in My Chart?

Does anyone else here have the same cancer as me? Any advice?

Thanks xx
