Oestrogen Positive and early 40's

I'm looking for any other women out there that only have the ER+ breast cancer. I found a lump in November and have since had surgery and started chemo (4 x TC). Mine was stage 1 grade 2 and no nodes. I guess I'm looking for light at the end of tunnel.

    Hi @Vickiddo,
    I know it's alot to deal with.... I was diagnosed a year and a half ago at 40. A single mum of 2 beautiful boys. Similar to you but mine was stage 2 and in 3/10 nodes. I had a lumpectomy, 6 months of chemo then 6 weeks radiation. I am now on Tamoxifen for 10 years and doing well.
    You have caught it early so that is the best. We are definitely stronger than we know. 
    This is a great place to be for support.
