Hi
Thursday came and went. Diagnosed with IDC grade 3 er/pr -ve, HER2 status not conirmed. Initial thoughts are 50% sure no axillary involvemeny but they are looking into a SNB to confirm. Rest of breast and other breast clear. My team are meeting at mdt to discuss monday, will tell me tuesday whether I start chemo on Thursday first to shrink or lumpectomy on Friday. Feel better now I know what dealing with though horrified it was a grade 3 hormone negative. Days are ok, I am keeping busy, evenings are destroying me. I just want to crack on with treatment and get it out of me. No question of bubba coming at 28 weeks, they are confident of inducing inbetween chemo at 36.

Hi Eva
ok, so you now have some of your results back. A lot of the younger ladies you will find are Grade 3 and I was too - it does mean though that chemo is essential. Her2 results do normally take a little longer to come back. I was er- but I was pr+ which is unusual. I was given tamoxifen but no-one is really sure whether I would have gained any benefit because I was er- I was also Her2+ and had herceptin.
Once you know fully what you are facing you will find that you will deal with it better, it is the unknown that drives everyone to despair. Despair, fear, demons also come to most of us especially during the night. I am not sure there is any way to deal with the terrors to be honest with you but I can tell you that they will pass and become more infrequent, although probably hard for you to believe right now. Not long to wait until Tuesday for more info but it no doubt feels like it is taking forever. Take care. Love xxx
Hi Eva
Glad they are now thinking of inducing around 36 weeks and not 28. i’m nearly out of my first trimester and even with me they wouldn’t want to induce earlier than 32 weeks though will probably be later.
All us pregnant ladies seem to be grade 3. Wishing you the best for Tuesday. Let us know how you get on.
