I’ve just found this part of the forum and wanted to say hello.
I’m 39 and currently 34 weeks pregnant and have a 20 month daughter. I was diagnosed with ductal invasive bc, grade 3 with lymph node involvement about a week ago. I’ve just got my treatment plan.
I’m going to be induced at 36 weeks, baby is a good weight so it shouldn’t be a problem. After the birth I’m going to start chemo, not sure when as waiting for oncologist (hate that word) appt. Hopefully this will shrink the lump, currently 26mm, and I will only require a lumpectomy after chemo has finished.
I’ve had such a range of emotions, rangining from deep despair to joy at being able to meet my little baby sooner rather than later. My friends and family have all been amazing and I feel truly blessed to have them around me.
I just wanted to say hello and I can see you are all amazing already, gives me strength and hope.

Hi Laiw
Heck! You’ll have plenty to cope with in the weeks and months to come. Are there good people around who can help with the two little ones and who can support you in ‘real life’?
I was diagnosed in Jan with a grade 3 2.3 cm lump and have just finished chemo. It worked and I’m having an lumpectomy next Thurs then radiotherapy for a month. Won’t say it was fun, but it was do-able with the right support.
Many lovely people here to talk to…

I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on 24th May 2011 when I was 37 weeks pregnant. Joshua was born 2 days later on 26th May. I also have a gorgeous little girl who is 3 years old. Finding out that I have cancer is the hardest thing I have ever had to face but having the children gives you so much strength and a reason to stay positive.
I have my last chemo on Tuesday and surgery in 4 weeks. Has gone in very quickly and the doctors seem pleased with how it is going so far.
Hi, so much has happened in the last few weeks. Jake William was induced at 36 weeks, didn’t go to plan ended up having an emergency section under GA as my placenta abruped. Jake spent nearly 2 weeks in special care as he had difficulty breathing. He is safe at home with us now and thriving. Tomorrow would have been his due date and he is 4 weeks old already.
I started chemo nearly 2 weeks ago and after 10 days of not having too many problems was admitted at the weekend as my c-section wound became infected and I developed mastitis as well. I’m home now after some iv antibiotics. Today my hair has started to fall out which has really hit me hard. I knew it was coming and it was the bit I was dreading.
I too am new on here but i just wanted to say my heart goes out to you,i have just finished my treatment and am in recovery and it was bad enough for me but you have everything else to think about too.
Keep ur chin up
