Waiting for oncologist ??
Hi there, I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 weeks ago. I am now 4 weeks post surgery after a lumpectomy. I had a grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. My specialist informed me last Thursday that...
Today I decided to do chemo unfortunately. The oncologist strongly recommended it because of the size (24mm), the fact it is grade 2 and the pathology showing that 40% of the cells are multiplying rapidly. The 40% was quite scary to hear ! Deep down I already knew it was likely to be the case but hearing that I had such a high percentage of cells developing rapidly really made me think Shit this thing is real & aggressive ! There was no doubt in my mind then that I had to give it a go no matter how high my fears of it all. Treatment should start next Friday I'm just waiting for them to confirm. Guess I have a week to get myself organised !!
