Dear @Barbara63,
My story is a little similar to you, Although I have just finished Chemo and about to start Radiotherapy.
I had a Mastectomy with axillary clearance. I also have done all of the recommended checks and screening tests.
My last Breastscreen Mammogram was 9 months before I found the lump. I'm lucky to have found it.
Hopefully my outcome will be ok. Stage 2, Grade 3 BC
I've had good support from several people I know through work, who've had BC.
Best wishes for your Chemo. I hope you tolerate it well. I was lucky. I had side effects but it was quite manageable.
