Hi @Meg1112
I also have ER/PR positive HER2 negative, I had one breast lesion and one lymph node involved. It really is the worst early on when there is a flurry of tests, appointments, decisions and all when you're trying to get your head around your diagnosis, which for me came out of the blue as I had no symptoms and it was picked up by my first ever mammogram! I found that I tried to focus on the positives, like it's been found, and they are treating it, and we have a great health system here. I have also found meditation and qigong have helped me through as well (I'm not really all new age either!). Look good feel better have some free online sessions which are worth checking out (lgfb.org.au). Make sure you are kind to yourself and try to treat yourself each day ( even if it is something small like a piece of cake, a nice soap or do something you enjoy). You will get through this, I've got through 2 operations, 6 months of chemo and 6 weeks of radiotherapy, I'm now on to hormone and targeted therapy. Somehow you do find the strength within yourself to keep going, you will surprise even yourself with your own strength 💪
I wish you all the best with your treatment and keep us posted, I found connecting with others having a similar experience also helped me a lot.
