Hi ladies
started the. First of my 6 cycles of FEC yesterday , and am posting from hospital bed this morning.
unfortunately I was quite sick a few hours after it was given and had to go on a drip. Third anti sickness got it under control, but I do feel a bit rough and tired. Cold cap was a shocker ! First ten mins was agony but they talked me into keeping it on so hope bloody tIrks works.
Looking forward to going home for cuddles with my children x x

I'm 37, married with two beautiful children aged 6 and 9 and my world fell apart at the end of June when I was diagnosed. I didn't feel a lump when I went to the doctors , but I had breast pain and itching. Got referred for mammogram, and during ultrasound they didn't like what they saw and did a core biopsy there and then. Results came back same day and the consultant told me it was cancer. I felt like I couldn't go on, had to go home to my children and pretend all was ok.
Since then I've had 2 lumpectomies as first time the margins not clear . Lymph nodes not affected and its grade 1, stage 2. I am having chemo which starts tomorrow, 6 x FEC then radiotherapy for 4 weeks which should take me up to Christmas. The hardest part was telling my children, feel like I have given them this awful thing that they shouldn't have to worry about at their age.
My husband has been very supportive and is positive. But sometimes when I look on here and read all the stories about cancer coming back and secondaries it petrifies me. Had loads of family and friends support, but would like to chat with others in the same horrible situation as me 😞

Dear Claire, I am also new to this site , this is my first ever post ! I had to reply to you because I also have young children aged 6 and 9 and I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago, I had a mammogram, ultrasound and core biopsy in one day, then told, that day that I had breast cancer . I can only describe it as complete devastation, I practically threw myself on the consultants desk and crying said but it can't be cancer, I have children , im only 37. i felt like someone died, the grief, the anger and the days of constant crying that followed , I had to take diazepam for the shock . Even now I'm still raw and I have normal and bad days. I've had 2 lumpectomies and was due to start chemo today, but I have an infection in the breast (lump came up , all red and hurts) so it's been put off to next week. I had grade 1 mixed, stage t2 (what does that mean!)
i just want to say I know how you feel and would like to know your progress, I also cry every time I think of my children and telling them was the hardest thing I've ever had to do . It also panics me when other people see me and cry , why do they do that !
there seems to be many kind people on this site, take care, love Shelley x
