Dizzy Blonde- V confused ER+, PR- and HER2+
Right girlies,
on a positive note. I have just came back from the my post op consiltation. They have removed a 25m tumour and my lymph nodes were clear. So I have stage 1 grade 3 breast cancer.
I'm sure the surgeon said it was estrogen positive receptive cancer. He mentioned that estrogen encouraged the cancer cells to rapidly grow. I'm now confused as he mentioned that I wont need hormone therapy as it doesnt respond well. I thought it was only estrogen negative that didnt. Maybe Iv got my wires crossed but Im sure he said estrogen positive. Confused!!!

- susie_QMemberAll the very best Gilliann, you are amongst a strong girlie bond here and we will all support you on your journey, although none of us wanted to take this journey I am pretty sure we have all found heaps of positive outcomes from this experience, and you will too. Can you believe already you have NEW bosom buddies all over the country. Ask lots of questions. I found it very theraputic to keep a daily diary of all that occurred during my treatment time. I can now look back in awe of what I went through and how I handled each situation, sometimes badly but most of the time pretty ok and have come out the other end of the 18months as a new me, evolves slowly each day.

- gilliannMemberHi Girlies My breast care nurse has just contacted me and confirmed I have triple negative. Don't know how I feel about that but at least I know. :)
- Mich_xMemberHey my Bella, I am so glad you are looking after yourself. Continue to nanna nap as needed, cream your boob as before, eat and drink well and stay away from crowds or people with colds etc. and don't forget to nurture yourself. Have a wonderful time with hubby home for the week. Hope it is a special week. I know from experience the week goes by so fast. Then I don't get to see mine for another 4 weeks........Lots of love always, Mich xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Mich
My operation was carried out in Kaleeya hospital in East Fremantle but the majority of my consultations take place in Fremantle. I called my breast care nurse yestereday and she was under the impression it was triple negative, she is going to call and confirm it with me on Monday. I just want to know what I'm up against, I tend to be a tad overzealous and can bombard myself with information. My husband becomes concerned when I'm researching on the internet but I'm a very measured person. I am fully aware that there is alot of conflicting information on the web. I only listen to the experts but like to know what I'm talking about. Does this make sense?
