Newbie, 27, no kids, HER2+ Breast Cancer
Hi,
I'm new on here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 27, have a loving partner, no kids, and on the 11th of October I found a 7mm diameter lump in my right breast. It was diagnosed quickly ...

Hey! Im also new on here but seem to be in a similar situation as yourself.
I was diagnosed july this year with triple positive breast cancer (HER2 ER/PR+). Im 25, married, no kids, also chose to get on with chemo and having zoladex for fertility preservation. Mastectomy, radiation, herceptin, tamoxifen and recon are all on the cards for me...
I have a Hickman line (CVC) and recall when it was first put in it was quite uncomfortable. As long as you dont have a temp or the area isnt red and angry or hot it should settle down in about a week.
Im also possibly going to be part of a study called the Positive study where women are monitored as they come off the Tamoxifen (sometimes early) for fertility and getting pregnant. Im in WA so not sure where you are but might be something to look into..a long way off at the moment I know.
Can I just say good on you for getting the lump looked into when you found it. All the research that I've read says how much of a difference it can make in the long run.
Its great you also have a good support network! Ill be thinking of you and love to hear how your going.
Cheers
