Hi
I’m a real newbie. I’m struggling to find anywhere on the boards to link up with others who will have (or have had) chemo BEFORE they have a mastectomy.
I’ve a very large grade 3 IDC which they want to reduce before I have surgery. I’d love to be in contact with anyone who has been through and come out the other side! Or to be buddies with any going to go through it.
Hi Lolly Mum,
I’m having chemo first too, had 2 so far and my third is next week.
I also have a grade 3 and will be having an mx too. I wasn’t that happy about having chemo first when I found out- but now since I’ve starred having my tumour has shrunk considerably so it’s know it’s working, it’s been great mentally for me it’s given me a real boost.
I’m guessing you may have children I have 2 aged 11 and 3.
Best wishes
