New diagnosis and scared

Hi @matilda1

So sorry to hear what you are going through. Hopefully it will be a bit encouraging for me to say I had exactly the same type of tumour 17 years ago. 4.5cm invasive, hormone pos, lobular, with 3 positive nodes. I had a mastectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and oestrogen blockers(for 10 years). Also, six years ago I had a second primary in the other breast. This one 2,5cm, invasive ductal, herceptin pos. So second mastectomy, more chemo and herceptin.

Today I am fitter than I have ever been. I’m just about to do run 2/week 7 of the ‘couch to 5k’ running programme. So, for all you ladies going through it just now, there is every chance of a good healthy life to follow. Just try and stay positive and get through one step at a time. (Bit like my jogging)

I wish you all the very best with your treatment pathway. I think mentally it gets easier once you start treatment and feel like you’re doing something to put it right.

Sending love and hugs

Eily :heart::heart::heart:
