I’m 34 and just being diagnosed with breast cancer also waiting on more results as found a 2nd lump in same boob on mammogram and also a slightly inflamed lmyth node under arm. So far I know the lump is grade 2 and doing lots of others tests this week.
I have a 3 year old and am in early pregnancy but I am experiencing heavy bleeding so waiting on a scan. Sounds like I will definitely be having surgery and chemo.
Just reaching out for words of wisdom/support from people of a similar age or/and young families. I’m so scared, I never imagined this in my life especially now with a young child. I can’t bear to think I would have to leave her forever

Hi, just saw your message and wanted to drop you a reply.
I am also 34 and maybe a little further ahead in my journey. I have er+her2+ and DCIS all in the left breast. After 9 weeks of waiting (hell really with imagination running wild) I have been given a surgery date of 4th August. It honestly can not come soon enough. Once this is complete il get my lymphnode results and plans for chemo.
I have 2 young boys and really struggled at first (still am really) but I can honestly give a little hope that once the initial shock wears off you seem to find this inner strength you didn’t even think you had. I couldn’t even say ‘the kids’ without crying.
Drop me a message if you ever need to chat. I have found speaking with some wonder ladies ahead of where I am such a god send.
