I am new to this site but since my mum was diagnosed on Wednesday I have found this the most helpful and reassuring site on the net. My mum has been diagnosed with grade 3 cancer with at least one node affected and is booked in to have a mastectomy on Monday. She is pleased that the operation is happening so quickly but I can also see she is so anxious. This is all such a shock and I am really struggling. When I read about grade 3 breast cancer it doesn’t have a good outlook. I am just wondering if any ladies out there with a similar diagnosis to my mum can offer me some reassurance please at this such difficult time. I lost my dad to lung cancer 7yrs ago, I’m only 32 and not ready to loose my mum yet.
Grade 3 is aggressive. but if she is stage 3 or less they will be treating her with the aim of a cure. I was diagnosed with Grade 3 stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer in January last year, and I am currently totally well. It is good you are keen to support her - the next few months will probably be hard, but hoping for a good outcome for her.
All I can say is I have grade 3 invasive ductal with another tumour in my lymph nodes , i didnt ask for prognosis or stats but my doctor said to me they planned to send me off into the sunset in a few months cancer free. Im having herceptin too afterwards (your mum may or may not have that plus hormone tablets but all of these reduce the risk of recurrence) That means they expect to get rid of the b**ger so if mine is stage 3 and they fully expect that then your mums is probably the same x if they didnt think so they would say they dont hide things from patients x I cant tell you not to worry shes your mum but I can say the treatments offered nowadays are really good and the doctors wont and dont keep anything from their patients
