Hello all
My wife who is 33 years old has just been diagnosed. What we thought was going to be a simple cysts/fibroadenoma has actually turned out to be a tumor. Biopsy has been taken and we get the results next week. Just to complicate things a little we are also 16 weeks pregant with our second child.
My beautiful lovely wife is freaking out, her best friend died of breast cancer in September, she was 34 and was stage IV at diagnosis, so right now she assuming the worst.
Hopefully she won’t be that bad and we can fight this.
I’m scared, freaking out and don’t want to lose her.
I’ve read through loads of threads on this site the past two days. You are all so brave, each and every one of you.
Has anyone been through a similar situation with BC in pregnancy?
