Newly diagnosed Mum with kids.
Hi all, Diagnosed on 14th Aug with Grade 3 Invasive Carcinoma...surgery on the 20th - lumpectomy and removal of sentinal node...only just wrapping my head around it all. Starting to all seem real now...
Hi @Shimmer78. I was diagnosed on 10th August so just a few days before you. Invasive, grade 3 and also 39yrs old. Unfortunately mine is also triple negative. I had a lumpectomy on 14th of August and see the oncologist in 2 days to find out my chemotherapy regime.
I have 2 kids but they are 18 & 15. My son(18) is at Uni 2hrs away. My daughter, 15, has been great and is a wonderful support but I worry she is bottling it up trying to be strong for me. Luckily at that age they have good friends to lean on too.
Good luck with the kids, they are more resilient than we realise sometimes and I'm sure your little girl will love trying pretty scarves and hats on mummy if you do end up needing chemo. Keep in touch with us all about what treatment plan you have coming up. Tracy
