I am scared ....

Hi Danka

So sorry you have been diagnosed.  I am recovering from lumpectomy for a 5.5 cm invasive triple negative ductal carcanoma.  It is quite normal to feel like everything is getting worse while you wait for surgery, and to feel like they are not going fast enough.  I had a CT scan and a bone scan,after surgery and was told they do this routinely for everyone now, just to check that it has not spread.  My friend had a very swollen lymph node when she found her breast lump, but the lymph node was still clear, so try no to worry.  No matter what, the medical people know what they are doing and will look after you, the HER2 type of cancer you have has the targeted therapy Herceptin that everyone is talking about which was not available years ago, and means so much less chance of anything returning.

I have been writing about my journey so far on my blog breastcancerreadyornot.wordpress.com  an talk about the bone scan I had its called 'Dont look Down'    It may be encouraging to you as I am a few weeks ahead, and start Chemo in a week and a half.

It is very normal to be afraid, but you will be able to do it Danka. 

Lots of love, Yvette
