Yet another new girl
Hello everyone
My name is Holly. I am 34yrs old and was diagnosed with stage 1, grade 3 invasive breast cancer in June this year. My tumour was very weakly receptor positive ER+1 and Pr+1 HER2-. No...
Thank you Chriss
I know what you mean, I only broke down once so far when I went for genetic testing last week! They are testing me anyway even without family history as my type was so aggressive for my age. I have only had a lumpectomy/partial at this stage but am currently waiting on more biopsy and genetic test results that may mean I will need to do bilateral mastectomy. Scary phase right now! I didn't want mastectomy straight off as I haven't had any children yet and went through IVF round before I started chemo to try keep that option open.
You are so strong Chriss, what a huge decision, but very wise with a young family as you say. Good on you :)
