Need some positive stories

Hi Lara, I was 52 when diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago. I too had stage 2 grade 3, with no nodes. I am a nurse as well, so know exactly what you mean about hearing all the bad stories from your nursing experiences. Sometimes a bit of knowledge is a bad thing, and I fell into that category. The advantage though, is that you will understand more about the cancer and your treatment, as you will already understand the medical lingo, and won't have to learn what must seem like a foreign language to those who are not in the medical field. I have had a double mastectomy, and reconstruction with implants, 4 rounds of chemo and am now on Femara for up to 10 years. I have just recently moved to Perth. Are you here as well? Wishing you all the best with your surgery. Love Chris xx
