I am currently on a Breast Cancer Care moving Forward course and have just found out about this forum. I was diagnosed January 2013 following a routine 3 yearly mamogram. My other two had come back with no problems but not this time. I underwent a lumpectomy followed by 6 lots of chemotherapy and then radiotherapy and have a few months ago finished a year of herceptin because my cancer was HER2. Also have now been taking Anastrozole for a year. I am doing all I can to keep well - have started going to a gym and making sure I dont put on any excess weight. I feel pretty good really, all things considered and grateful for all the treatment i have been given. Look forward to hearing from anyone in a similar situation.
Glad you are feeling so positive.I have had eight years of misery with pain , complications and subsequent severe depression.
Wish I’d never been for a mammogram
