I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer after 18years cancer free. I had my first mastectomy in August 2007 with lymph node involvement. After surgery I had chemotherapy and radiotherapy then had tamoxifen for 2.5 years. Due to gall bladder problems I had to change to Anastrozole for a further 5 years and was cancer free until last Christmas. I’ve now had a mastectomy on the left side in March ER+PR+ and HER low. I will be starting chemotherapy on Tuesday which I’m quite nervous about as last time I ended up back in hospital with an infection. Just hoping this time that doesn’t happen as I’m now 82years of age. Just wondered if anyone else the two mentioned and how they coped on them
