Hello - here I am
My name is Anne, I am 51 and yesterday (Fri) I received my diagnosis. Seeing a surgeon next Wed so not too long to wait. I think I have 'early' breast cancer so am hoping and praying that surgery wil...
I found out today that I am facing chemotherapy then radiotherapy as they found cancer in a lymph node beside the lump. Lump high grade/ fast growing. Surgeon says no need to remove underarm lymph nodes though. So this may take a bit longer to get through... 6 months?
The good part is - with chemo, I get menopause! Been hanging out for that, lol.
Appt Thursday next week, then book chemo. Probably 18 weeks with one session every 3 weeks.
Then radiotherapy for 4 weeks...
Then hormone-blockers (stops estrogen) and something else....
Bit stunned,
Anne
