Bad news. Please help :(

Hey Jodie , I was just reading your post and wanted to let you know my story so far as it seems we are twins in this sucky journey. I was diagnosed with lobular bc in late September , 2 weeks before my wedding. I had a lumpectomy and 3 nodes removed on the 10th October and got the results a week later. They removed an 8cm lump and no clearance and 2 nodes positive . I am booked in the PA hospital this Thursday 7th nov for a mastectomy and total node clearance. Having exact same treatment as you too, 18weeks chemo, 5 weeks radiation and hormone treatment as I am er and pr positive and her2 negative as well. I have found the best way to cope is to focus only on the next step. So for me that is the mastectomy. Once that's done, i will focus on the next step. I'm scared a lot , I have 7 children with my youngest being 4 & 5. But the kids keep it all real for me because they still have school, sport, etc so life goes on and we are trying to keep it as normal as possible. If you ever need to talk let me know as it seems we are in the same points pretty much in our journey to kick cancers but. Take care and good luck with everything.
