Hi just looking for a some help really… My mum (50) got diagnosed through a mammogram a few weeks ago she has since had a lumpectomy to remove a 1.5cm tumor and 5 lymp nodes taken. Results day last week brought bad news it was in 3 of the 5 lymphs and there was a thickening in the tissue that would turn to cancer eventually so now we face chemo and mastectomy plus radiotherapy and hormone tabs for 5 years as its a hormone type of cancer… Just wondered if any one has similar stories as im not coping great and could do with some hope! Also not sure of staging…
hi hun
i had mamogram, 2 lumps and 1 under arm and some calcification so had mastectomy 2 weeks ago. i am due for my results tomorrow but do know i am having chemo and radio in the new year.
i will let you know what my results etc are so you can compare?
i am feeling ok, my husband is worse than me!! i have 3 young children and i am only 39. the prognosis is good these days, and they can do so much.
My husband’s aunty had it 8 years ago (52), mastectomy, grade 2 and in lymph nodes. she is fine and helping me through this.
there is support and tell her to come on this forum for a rant, talk, whinge, whatever…
take care
