Hi i was diagnosed 18 mnths ago with the same pathology grade 3 hormone positive her2 positive lymph node involvement.
I had mastectomey AC chemo Taxol chemo Herceptin and Radiotherapy.Now on Aromasin for the next 5 to 10 years.I was diagnosed at 40 and have 2 children.
Ive just had my ovaries removed as a preventative and am now in menopause.
I wont lie and say its been easy its a lot to take in and both physicaly and mentaly its taken a toll on me.
There is so much support out there and you realy need to seek it out.Ask lots of questions and ask for help.I was amazed of the kindness of family friends and strangers.And i met remarkable people going through the same journey as me.
You need to focus one treatment at a time and not think to far ahead or it will drive you insame.Even though its an aggressive cancer we are lucky their is a lot of treatment they can attack it with.
I am proof its doable.My hair has grown back i got married ive just moved to a new area and im the strongest ive ever felt.I know i can do anything now.I still fear reacurrance but i think thats normal.
Good luck to you both as you start this shitty journey.just have faith in yourselves and your doctors surgeons oncologists and nurses. they are a blessing.
