Hello
Since being diagnosed at the beginning of August wihh the stage 2 breast cancer I have found some comfort reading some of these posts. I have had a mastectomy and lymph node clearance. I have also since found out I have the BRCA 2 variant as well. I had an appointment on Friday where my surgeon told me I will have chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and then be on tamoxifen for 10 years.
I am feeling quite overwhelmed and waiting for a consultant oncologist to ring me to tell me more information about my next steps. But it’s constantly at the back of my mind about the cancer coming back which I suppose will never go.
Does anyone have a similar experience and can offer some words of advice? I feel up until now I’ve felt quite positive and proactive and now it’s hitting me.
