16 Weeks Pregnant and diagnosed with aggressive hormonal breast cancer
As the title says, I am currently 16 weeks pregnant with my first child, I turn 32 in Feb and have no family history of breast cancer. My surgeon has said I will need a mastectomy in the next week or...
Hi @Emma1113, what a shock for you. I am not young like you so can't imagine what it's like being pregnant too. It is overwhelming for sure and there is so much to process for you and your baby too.
When i was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer in 2020, I had surgery, chemo and radium. I did see pregnant women in the chemo ward. I felt so much for them. It's a terrible club to join but it is good you are reaching out here.
You could call BCNAs hotline. They may have information that is particular for your situation.
It's great you have support as you will need that. Your surgeon will work with other medical professionals to work out the best treatment plan for you. When there is a plan it will be better.
For now it is very deep breaths and take one day at a time. Take good care of yourself.
