I have lobular stage 2, her2 negative, estrogen positive, v slow growing. I’ll need mastectomy and radiotherapy. Op 24 jan 2025. Feel relieved in a strange way. She said it’s a very well behaved cancer. Thanks for thinking of me

Well done for being so brave and keeping a level head. It’s kind of a relief to know the answer, no more “is it” or “isn’t it”. They will take good care of you. I had lumpectomy which is a smaller op, but I heard from ladies on here how surprising quick they recover from mastectomy, and hope than extends to you.
Have a good Christmas x
Hi Stafford22,
I’ve also been thinking of you today. It’s great to hear it’s slow growing and you have your surgery date which isn’t that long away. I hope you feel a bit calmer now. Just keep telling yourself that next Christmas, this will all be morphing into a distant memory xxxx

Yes I feel much better now knowing what it is and the treatment plan. It’s her 2 negative and hormone sensitive. The ki67growth rate is 1% so very low thanks for thinking of me xx

Was also thinking of you and I’m glad that you have a plan now - even though it’s rubbish it’s still a relief . I hope you are a Le to enjoy Christmas and New Year . Christmas 2021 I had had a procedure that I already knew had failed and was waiting for a check mammogram to confirm that but I knew nothing was going to change over those Bank Holidays and I was able to give myself a bit of a mental holiday during that time . Having not been allowed to spend time with my family the previous Christmas it was also a very precious time xx
I was in the same place as you this time last year and as you say it’s a relief knowing what’s what. Only people who have had BC would be hard pushed to understand that but it’s true. Try now to concentrate on Christmas for which I hope you have some good plans, there will be time afterwards to get everything into place afterwards. Wishing you a Christmas full of love and laughter and then May your treatment be straightforward and positive. Sending big hug and love xx
