scared stiff

Hi Shazza, It sure is a crazy roller coaster ride we are on. I was diagnosed on the 9th May with a grade 3, 3cm invasive ductal tumour. ER PR and HER2 +ve. Sentinel node was clear so no further nodes were removed. I had 3 surgeries, lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy, re excision of margins and then a port a Cath insertion. Then I started chemo last Thursday. I am also a cancer nurse so I know all of the awful horror stories. I was exactly the same in the beginning. So frightened and worried for my 3 girls. But since then I have realised that although it is a long hard road we are on, we come out better people at the end. Early breast cancer is treatable and curable and I have no intention of dying from this disease. It will get better, the first couple of weeks are the worst. Big hugs for you sweetheart. Take it easy. xx Dan xx
