small steps forward
Hi everyone, just a little hello as I’m joining you on this journey and now feel brave enough to say hello. I was diagnosed June 28th, following a random self check, two weeks before a planned 5 week...
Hi Karen.
We have very similar stories. I’m 51, 50 when diagnosed, had grade 2 stage 2 with no lymph.
Two ops, first removed the invasive, second for extensive DCIS. No chemo for me, was offered but declined. Did not do oncotype.
15 rounds of rads with a boost on the tumour bed.
It wasn’t really that bad just mentally taxing and just a bit crap. Boob held up ok but now I’m religious with my oils so the skin is looking and feeling better than before.
Bit of swelling and pain a couple months later which was surprising but see an onco physio for that. She massages and lasers the scar.
Sorry to hear you had the same thing but on here you’re never alone xx
