Hi Louise
I am 14 months down the track and nearly finished treatment with only 3 more herceptin to go. It turned out I had 3 tumours (grade 3, stage 0) so ended up having more scans, ct scans and all sorts of tests, then a lumpectomy, then 6 months of chemo, then 33 treatments of radio. I finished the radio on 19/12/14 so we had Christmas and my sons 21st in the beginning of January. I worked part time all the way through apart from the first 6 weeks of chemo. Everything happened so fast and all my attention was on doing what I had to do and getting by the best way I could. It sounds ridiculous but it is only in the last couple of months that I have been able to realise and acknowledge how sick I have been. I have finally had time to start to digest everything I have been through and it is a bit of a shock. None of us expect this diagnosis and for me, I didn't expect the biopsies to come back positive. I wasn't worried at all as I honestly thought it would be fine. Give yourself time. You will get your head around it at some point. Take care and good luck for getting your pathology back on Monday.
