Hi just wonderin if there is anyone from Huddersfield? I’m 27 was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 weeks ago had lumpectomy and sentinal node biopsy and had the all clear. Waiting for my radiotherapy to start now. Would love to hear from anyone in the area. Preferably younger women.
Xx
Hi
I’m 37 so ten years older than you, but still young in breast cancer terms. I finished treatment (save for tamoxifen) last October after being diagnosed in march 2010. I’m in saddleworth so just over the hills from you. If you need someone to chat to we could arrange a meet up. It’s 20 mins by train. I went to the Manchester younger women’s forum earlier this year and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Absolutely brilliant.

Hi Butterfly83
I live in Halifax, well Greetland area if you have heard of that, which is just as close to Huddersfield centre as it is Halifax.
I am 41 which is still young in breast cancer terms. I finished my treatment (surgery, chemo and rads) this time last year.
If you would like to meet up for a chat, just send me a message, there is Toby’s at Ainley Top which is only 5/10 mins in car for me.
Take care Amanda xx
Hi Butterfly. The Haven at Leeds has a support group for younger women. It is a lovely place and you can get nice treatments etc free of charge for first 8 treatments. If you drive it’s easy to get to, free parking and I would guess you are going into Leeds for rads anyway.
Wishing you all the best x
Hi ladies,
well, i’m 26 and i was diagnosed with grade 3 invasive ductal breast cancer on 25th October 2011. went in to Calderdale Royal for a wide local excision and sentinal lymph node biopsy on 30th Novemeber, had results back on 9th Decemeber. luckily it hadn’t spread now i’m just waiting to start 18 weeks of chemo then 3 weeks of radio after that so gonna be off work for quite a while.
this has all been one big blur to me, my gp and the consultant were convinced it was nothing.
meeting with my oncologist tomorrow, chemo due to start some time after xmas. just grateful to to be able to enjoy my birthday and xmas before treatment starts.

Hi Lynzi
Hope your app went ok?
Its horrible to be told isn’t it? my GP and BCN were convinced it wasn’t anything too it really knocks your confidence in the NHS. But what i can say is from being diagnosed to now all the medical professionals have been wonderful.
I was in Calderdale Royal on the 13th Of Sept 2011 and i was the youngest they’d seen for a while it can feel so isolating being so young. Feel free to PM me

Hi lovely,
yeah it was ok. i was in floods of tears, you know when you already know everything that is going to happen. you just know and you read up on it but then the oncologist confirms everything it just hits home. was another case of information overload … i’ve been trying to hold it together and be strong for everyone else but i just lost it. dunno what it is with being in a hospital setting that brings it out of me, or maybe it’s being with my BCN? she’s lovely, gives the best hugs ever.
yeah it did shake me a bit, my boyfriend was with the GP in terms of it being nothing and was convinced it was all in my head so when the consultant confirmed it he was besides himself as he put all his faith and trust in the GP 
although i’m not upset with the GP one bit as he did he job and he did it very well. he even called me up when he found out as he couldn’t actually believe it which i thought was lovely of him. yes you are right, everyone involved has been amazing. i don’t know how i will ever thank everyone enough for everything they have done for me?! certainly gives you a new found respect for everyone involved with health care.
i just felt so out of place on that ward, like i’ve said many times it was all one big blur. so much has happened between 25th Nov and now…crazy crazy times!!
thanks Butterfly, i will do xxxx
