Newly Diagnosed

Hi there @SueD...I'm so sorry that you've had to join our club, but welcome anyway. I got that tap on the shoulder from the Cosmic Clowns back in September 2016. Once they had finished all the tests, I was given the diagnosis of Grade 3 (so a Porsche, not a clapped out old VW), Stage 3, (so the bastard had passport in pocket and suitcases packed...ready to travel), Triple positive, multifocal and with node involvement. I had one grandchild at the time, a little boy aged 16 months. I was quite sure I was going to drop off my perch within the year, and being an avid knitter, set about knitting him beanies and jumpers for ages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, so he would have tangible proof of his dead granny's love for him. Well Granny is still here, still knitting and now have a four year old granddaughter too. The wait in the beginning is horrible, whilst you wait for your plan, but your medical team need to get all their results back to know exactly what they're dealing with, and what treatment and sequence is best for you. Remember, this is your first experience with breast cancer, but it's a beast they know well and is their bread and butter, so to speak. My very best wishes and a big (((hug)))...Ally.
