Well it sounds like a lot of people have been through or are going through the same things as I am right now. Luckily the upbeat tones of these threads show we are still able to maintain a sense of humour about it all. I was initially diagnosed with DCIS in August but on removal an aggressive tumour was found inside. Luckily a lymph node biopsy showed it hadn’t spread but as it was triple negative now having chemo and then radiotherapy. The blue boob is still there a little faded but a reminder of the way we laughed that day when I got home and my face had a very strange blue tinge. I braved the shave and now have a very realistic wig which seems to put people at ease when they talk to me rather than not knowing what to say. We laughed at the Fec treatment as images of Father Ted sprung to mind, oh what a journeys it’s been the last few months. I am lucky to know such love and laughter from my husband and children and we appreciate the little things a lot more. Positive vibes and good health to all of you x

Hi yougotolaugh. Yes you have!! I am 3 fec down now and dstarting T with herceptin and permuzetab in 2 weeks.
This really is a very individual journey for 3ach of us but one made so much better by the advice, support, encouragement and love found on this forum.
I was diagnosed with DCIS last year then at my first follow mammo this year had to have biopsies and a small invasive cancer was found.
Anyway my family and friends are amazing and my hubby and children are coping as we travel this road together. Life goes on as normal as it possibly can. I am not at work and am here every morning and every night when the kids go to and come home from school so thats a bonus!!
Good luck with your treatment and let us know how you get on xx
