Hey @greyhound
Just sticking my hand up as a trip neg sister.
I’m a 55 and “unusual presentation” as I was a cystic (blood filled cysts it turns out) that when biopsied said “fatty necrosis” and it was only after the lump got bigger and grew a mate, that the mate gave the gig away a little. It then put me on an MRI and all went downhill after that until nothing was a “fatty necrosis” anymore.
Tumours measured 75mmx35mmX35mm at excision. By a miracle I was node negative.
I’ve done:
A double mastectomy
4AC and 12 Paclitaxel for chemo
then 5 weeks of daily radio (including central, subclavicle and arm pit lymph’s)
and a radical hysterectomy
treatment took around 12 months to complete in full.
I was staged 2B (with a PT3 N0)
I’m just doing 12 month scans etc now and am doing ok so far. A few niggly things that we are just sorting out what they are.
You’ve got this. I found the testing phase up to chemo was the biggest roller coaster.
Message me if you like.
