Diagnosed approx 5 weeks ago and had confirmation yesterday of stage 3, sentinel node biopsy was also positive. As a result, have to go back in for axillary node clearance/chemo/radio etc and the waiting for all this to be done seems neverending! It makes me feel sick to think that this is going on in my body when otherwise I feel perfectly fine! I wondered if anyone else has had the same diagnosis/treatment and in particular, is there anyone in the South Wales area who may be willing to share their experiences with me?
Hi sharon53
Welcome to the BCC Forum. I’m sure you will find lots of support here from fellow members. I’ve attached a link to the section specifically for members in Wales which I thought might be helpful:
forum.breastcancercare.org.uk/t5/Wales/bd-p/wales
When you have a date for starting chemotherapy you might also find a lot of support on the Chemo monthly threads.

Very best wishes
