New diagnosis

Hi Louie

Really sorry to here you have joined this breast cancer sisterhood but there are some amazing women on this site as I'm sure you have already noted!! The fact that you have a supportive husband, family and friends will be invaluable to you.

My story is very similar to yours - I was diagnosed last March at 42 with 2 tumors in r breast. Same pathology as yours grade 2 , er + in both, Progesterone + in one and Her2 + in one.

I had a mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy and herceptin. I just completed my hercepting last month!!!!

Now on femara for 5 years.

It can feel quite overwhelminig at the beginning thinking about the road ahead - just try and take things one step at a time.

Write down any questions you may have before you go to discuss your treatment plan and hop on here anytime to ask any questions.

I was given so many wonderful tips to see me through each part so far and the information and advice available from all the wonderful ladies on here will really help.

Even with amazing support it is unique to speak with someone who truely understands what you are going through!!

So everything of the best as you work out your treatment plan Louie - one of my friends sent me this quote right at the start of my road " Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain"

With your family and friends close alongside Im sure you will be able to find some dance moves no matter the storm !!!

Take care
