Hi all. I am amazed at reading everyones journey on here thus far - the type of thing you don’t realise how common until it affects you personally. I just turned 34, and instead of celebrating, have been dealing with Stage 1, Grade 2 Estrogen and Progesterone receptive Breast Ca. Have had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy and have been fortunate lymph nodes are clear. I have been told, radiation, chemo and hormone suppressant therapy will more than likely be my journey - first appt with Oncology team tomorrow. I am a nurse, and unsure how to be a patient - and to be honest, I am terrified, and knowing too much is awful. I just feel like my world has been turned upside down, and I don’t know how to even move forward.
