Question

Hi everyone,
My name is Jenny, i'm 32&nbsp;and i just joined this site and group so thought i'd introduce myself :)&nbsp;I was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer on the 21st June 2011 and had a mastectomy of my left breast the day after i was diagnosed. Had my 1st chemo 2.5 weeks ago and next one&nbsp;this Wednesday. Have been feeling fine other than a little tired the last couple of days, but think that could be due to being 20 weeks pregnant also. I have a long road ahead of me as my cancer was HER2 positive and the drug i need for that i cant have while pregnant. Hope you are&nbsp;all having a happy day :) Looking forward to getting to chat and know you all better.

Wow.&nbsp; How amazing are you.&nbsp; My first thought on seeing your profile pic was how awful bc is to make someone like you go through the journey.&nbsp; Now I read that you are pregnant as well.&nbsp; You look like a beautiful little family who does not deserve this.&nbsp; I suppose none of us deserve this.&nbsp; What can I say - keep being so positive and loving your little ones and of course your hubby.&nbsp; I hope everything goes well for you on this journey.&nbsp; Best wishes XLeonie

Hi Jenny,
Welcome. What an adorable family you have. Like you I am in my 30s and was diagnosed with bc. My heart goes out to you for being pregnant at the same time. I have heard quite a few stories of women in their 30s being pregnant and discovering they have bc, wonder if there is something in that. Good luck with your treatment and I admire you for it is tiring enough to go through it all let alone with a young family and being pregnant.
