Hi I had my HER2+ diagnosis last week so far have had a CT scan Monday and a bone scan today, appointment to see my oncologist next week and find out the plan for my Chemo! My cancer was found from a routine mammogram first one I have ever had, really scary time but I am being really positive and I am going to beat this

Hi tattoo -girl
Sorry about your diagnosis. I too was diagnosed at first mammogram. I had no lumps or concerns, so it was a big shock when diagnosed. I had a lumpectomy, radiotherapy and now on tamoxifen. I did not have chemotherapy. It is good to read you are upbeat and positive. This will make it half the battle. You might have down days, but focus on getting through this. I am just over a year post treatment and everything going well. Wishing you well for the rest of your tests and treatment. Let us know how it goes x

Thank you for your lovely reply
Hello! Im also HER2 positive.
Im 33 and having my 4th chemo session on wednesday along with a injection called Herceptin which you will get.
Any questions feel free to ask. I know its a scary time but being positive really does help!
Just wanted to share that after my first chemo session i noticed my breast swelling was more or less gone… and then after the second round it was gone and it feels like my other breast… third round i can barely feel the lump and have to have a poke around to find it.x

I have noticed that my right breast which is where I have the cancer has swollen a bit! I have my appointment with my oncologist next Tuesday so will have dates when I will start my chemo, I feel when I know dates I can get myself mentally ready for what’s to come
Mine is my right breast too the upper outer quadrant area. Mine was really swollen! Chemo will take that away. You do feel better once a plan as been put into place x
