Receiving chemotherapy for oestrogen and progesterone positive grade 3 cancer

Hi Evonne

I'm Daisy53 one if the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer.  While it hasn't happened to me I noticed that you haven't had any answers yet so I thought I'd reply to you to move you to the top of the discussion.  Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.

Best wishes

Hi there, I have the same situation like you. I finished my breast cancer surgery with reconstruction on Feb. However, there a little nodule found on the surgery breast on early April. I started my chemo treatment on mid April for EC part, breast surgeon took biopsy and with cancerous cells found. I’m shocked with cancer come back with such short period of time. 

What they suggested is immediately arrange for CT scan to check if there any cancerous hidden on the body. Have you come up with any suggestion from Oncologist? 

Hi there, oncologist has said that I need to continue with the paclitaxel treatment and I will have further surgery on the reconstructed breast after chemo. I had a scan to see if it had spread but no spread. It’s so disheartening but part of me thinks the nodule was a sign of cancer that was perhaps already there. I hope you get on ok. 

Hi Evonne,

Most Importantly which is no spread and just focusing on surgery to remove remaining cancer. 

I hope you keep on doing well for rest of treatments.

All the best,

Roni
