Waiting for chemo!!

Hi @dougal I am also new to this site, 51yrs old, first mammogram, my tumour couldn’t be felt by hand so I’m very lucky, don’t drink, don’t smoke, breast fed 3 children and diagnosed with cancer in June, had my surgery August 1st. My margins were all clear, my nodes were clear, tumour was 14mm. The tumour was a grade 3 but early stages stage 1. I tested ER, PR & HER2 negative which puts me in a group of 15%. Because of the high grade and the triple negative I may need chemo. All along I was told I would require radiation, at no stage was chemo ever mentioned as an option. So you can imagine my shock, it was like learning you have cancer for the first time all over again. It didn’t help that I turned to Dr. Google. I decided to give this forum a try a few days ago and it has put me at ease. If I hear someone suggest “life change” again I’ll explode. In typical me style I worry about everyone else’s feelings and politely listen to their well meaning suggestions. Good luck with your journey
