So it was confirmed on Friday. Its cancer. Two lumps in the breast, but one of them was okay and it has spread to the lymph nodes, dont know how many as they only biopsied the swollen one. It wasnt a shock and I feel strangely okay about it. Feel more for the people around me to be honest. Have to see the oncologist in the next 2 weeks and then start 4-6 months of chemotherapy after that. Then surgery. At the moment they are looking at a lumpectomy, not a mastectomy. Its HER2 Positive I think, as I have to have targeted therapy injections alongside the chemo. The only thing that is worrying me now is the lymph node, as they hadnt had my CT results back, so I dont know if it has spread xx

Hi @cheryl2109 at least there is a plan of action now which should give you some certainty. I hope the other results come back quickly.
As you are HER2+ I’d like to recommend the thread below which will put you in touch with many other women who have trod the path you’re about to set out on. They’re a great bunch. Good luck and let us know how you’re doing on this, your own, thread. Big hugs.

Hi @cheryl2109
Looks like you have a lovely, supportive thread going here but please do come and meet the gang on the ‘HER2+ and need some buddies’ thread if you want to journey alongside us on our treatment paths. Also lots of great info from women who’ve been there and come out the other side. We all know what you are going through and I hope you can feel my big hug from here.
Thank goodness it has been found and you will be starting out on the treatment path.

I’m sorry you’ve had this news, but glad you at least know what you’re dealing with now. Really hope the CT results are back soon. Will they give you those results over the phone when they’ve got them? Hope you’re doing ok. Thinking of you and sending you best wishes. Please keep us updated when you can x
