Did Not See This Coming

Hi there @JJ70 it’s quite often a shock to know you have breast cancer. Some women feel a lump and find out others go for a routine mammogram and whamo there it is. Stage 2 is early stage I was stage 2b grade 3 triple negative no lymph nodes involved and all scans clear aged 43 last year when I was diagnosed. Had 8 rounds of chemo 2 weeks apart. Rest assured everyone’s bc journey is different all with different treatment some just have lumpectomy some have single mastectomy some have a double some have recon some don’t but everyone on here has a story to tell and plenty of advice for you. Once you have your plan of attack you will feel better and can plan better too. I had to wait two weeks for my mastectomy I could of just had the lumpectomy but chose to have a mastectomy so I didn’t have to have radiation as well as chemo. I also chose to take the other one off too. The waiting is shit but I kept working so that kept me busy and distracted. Keep in touch we will all be here for you. Be kind to yourself take help if it’s offered and don’t google anything. Listen to your medical team they will know what’s best not dr google. Hope this helps. Margie. Xxx
