Hi I’m Kerry a Cumbrian lass living in Lancashire. I’m 49 and married with 2 children, a boy aged 13 and a girl aged 11.
I was diagnosed with IDC (ER+ PR+ HER2-) in October of 2025 after finding a small change, a bulge, in my right breast. 2 small masses were found 8mm and 15mm. The initial plan was lumpectomy, radiotherapy and 10 years of Tamoxifen and I’d just about got my head around that, however, as I had lymph node involvement I was sent for CT and MRI and it was unfortunately discovered that the cancer had spread to my spine - one of the small number of us diagnosed straight at Stage 4 De Novo. Change of plan!
My cancer journey is just beginning but already I’m finding this forum a huge source of support and I hope as my journey continues I’ll be able to support others.
I’ve not started my treatment yet but likely to start this week.
