Hi Sarahlee - So sorry your another member of this most amazing club and best thing to come out of having Breast Cancer, none of us want to be here, all of us felt exactly as you do, all of us were as shocked and as adrift as you feel now, this forum is the best place to ask questions and to get advice an infomation, PLEASE please don’t Google, its useles and scares the whits outta yourself, use this forum and get infomation from real ladies who are sadly in the same place as you, ask away someone on heres had it done it or knows about it. They are not messing about with your treatment plan are they??? A lot of ladies on here play an horrific waiting game, that messes with their heads and leaves their imagation to riot,. you are So very very young 27, christ. I will tell you a story of a lady, who is not on this forum but is the wife of someone I work with. She continually went to her doctors with breast lump, anyway she eventually insisted on biospsy having been fobbed off for a month, she was told by the radiologist doing the biopsy who told her she had been doing the job for 20 years, that there was nothing in her opinion wrong, her and her husband went back the following week to confidently get her results, except when they walked in there were 3 specialists in the room, he said to me, we thought at that point, Arh, she was 28 weeks pregnant Sarahlee, she had grade 3 too, they had to return that afternoon with the maternity team present, whereby they argued the two departments oncology wanting her to start treatment, obviously the hormones were making it grow faster, the maternity team arguing the baby would have a better chance of survival if they could give it 30 weeks, the parents were left to make the decision, both decided to give the baby the 2 weeks which would make all the difference, anyway their little girl was born by section and weighed 2.5lbs, they called her Grace, 1 week later mum started chemo, by the time surgery was decided the chemo had shrunk the lump and instead of a mastectomy which they had previously advised she could have a lumpectomy, anyway she was having none of it and had a double mastectomy with implant reconstruction at same time, by then her daughter was 5 months old. Now, some 4 years later, now she is a STUNNING figure to envy, turn mens heads, she has since had a little boy, she met me the other day as she had heard through her husband that I’m also having double mastecomy with immeadiate reconstruction, and she wanted to ressure me IT DOES COME GOOD, I watched her arrive and the heads turn to admire her, she wasnt aware, she is more your age than mine, Ive a daughter your age and another older, but she came through that, she is now clear and has been for 4 years. And that Sarahlee is an absolutely TRUE story, so as we say on here, one day at a time, DONT GOOGLE, and your not alone, everyone here will talk to you. Another bit of advice, there is a phone line on here, they have wonderful people who will speak with you, if you ask them for “THE SOMEONE LIKE ME SERVICE”, they will buddy you up with someone who has had what youve got but is through it and clear, they will ring you at home and they keep in touch, I’m not sure if your gonna get your age but all sorts of people volounteer to help,
