Diagnosis - grade 3 lymph node stage 2 breast

Hi, I was in a similar position a couple of years ago. I had chemo then surgery then radiotherapy.   You can click on my name to read a bit more about my story.   I think the early days when you're first diagnosed but don't have a clear treatment plan or timeline is the most difficult.  Try to keep yourself busy and distracted, and don't hesitate to call the lovely folks at Macmillan on 0800 808 0000 if you want to chat anything through. Best wishes 

I have grade 3 invasive ductual breast cancer oestrogen positive and her2 positive. My plan was chemo then surgery and radiotherapy, plus I have phesgo injections until September. I have done 5/6 cycles of chemo, I will not be receiving my last one due to blood clot in right atrium of heart and waiting on date for surgery but waiting on follow up for blood clot. You will have periods when you are feeling up and down its only natural, just take one day at a time, one appointment at a time and one treatment at a time.

Does that mean grade 3 in armpit 

Wow I’ve just read your story you are very brave and I take my hat off to you xx

All I was told grade 3, didn't say which bit referring to I assume the main lump and then was staged at 2b, it has gone into at least 2 lymph nodes, grade 3 is to do with the normality or abnormalities of the tumour and and how fast growing, the stage is to do with size of tumour and if it has gone into lymph nodes and how many. 

What has been your treatment ? Has ot spread at

all

Hi, My plan was ec-t chemo x 6, and also phesgo injections for a year as I'm her2 positive, I will then have surgery and radiotherapy. So far I have hasd 3 x ec and 2 docetaxel, when started docetaxel I then started phesgo injections. My last docetaxel has been cancelled due to having blood clot in my heart and injections put on hold, only had mri last week so waiting on results for that to see how I have responded to chemo, the 1st mri I had showed there was no spread but that was at beginning of treatment, so still away to go 

So you’ve started chemo? How’s it going x

Chemo has finished, went ok minimal side effects for me just nausea and tired fir 1st 2 cycles, 3rd was OK, 4th cycle no side effects, 5th cycle just nausea day after. Lost about 80% of hair and eyelashes and most of eyebrows, and other bodily hair x
