I joined this group a couple of weeks ago after being diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, which they tell me now is wrong, I definately have Inflammatory Breast Cancer in my left breast and my lymph nodes. I am starting chemo on 21st Oct., for 3 hours every 3 weeks. I am having a very hard time accepting all this. I live alone after my partner of 33 years passed away 29/1/2013 with eosophagus cancer. I also lost my only sister 1 month after him. She had lots of problems and ended up with liver cancer too.
Cancer has had a terrible impact on my life, 7 out of 8 in my family have had some kind of cancer. In my 1st marriage I lost my little son David with Neuroblastoma at 2 1/2 years old.
I really am asking anyone who has this cancer and is HER2 positive to write to me. I see so many young ladies here, and that is very sad for me. I have just turned 73 in Sept.,
I just need to meet ladies going through all this, my 3 daughters all work and will help me as much as they can, but they have families,mortgages etc.,
Thank you,
Lorraine Steele
