Newly Diagnosed with Breast Cancer at 42: Coping with Uncertainty

I could have written that. I think I’m just a couple weeks ahead of you in this process. Got some answers from the surgeon today and feel better. Based on my whole 3 weeks experience, this is just how it works (could be a lllllot better.) Your feelings are justified, but I don’t think you need to worry that it’s all falling apart. Cancer treatment has a different timeline than than the fierce, get-it-done women that we are. You have to stay on top of it, but as far as I can tell at the beginning this is normal. 🤞🍀

Wishing you the Best 🙏 God bless you.....I gt diagnosed with the same IDC ...HER 2+ estrogen and progesterone+.....

Are we … cancer sisters?? LOL Sorry. This family is too big, but making light makes distracts me. Thank you, and I wish you smooth and easy treatments and excellent outcomes. All my best, Megan

I just got my idc diagnoses today it says grade 3 but I have little to no idea what that really means

I got diagnosed 6-6 with IDC stage 2 it’s in my lymph nodes and schedule double mastectomy Thursday. Hang in there!!!

I was also just diagnosed Her2+ estrogen positive Stage 1 . I saw my oncologist today besides the double mastectomy she said no chemo , just 5 years on a pill to lower my estrogen. Sorry if I sound uneducated I’ve had so much thrown at me that I don’t understand.

Yes, the waiting game is crazy, How was diagnosed July 22nd and Saw a breast surgeon? And still I'm waiting. They finally got a surgery date which will be September friday the 13th OMG, But you have to stay positive easier said than done I know, But I'm praying for you. You'll get through it. We will get through it Because we are girl power strong 💪

Hello everyone, we are in this together ❤️ I was diagnosed last Monday with Stage II HER2 POSITIVE 3+ESTROGEN/PROGESTERONE AGGRESSIVE. Chemo starts tomorrow. Keeping each and everyone in my prayers 🙏🏼 ❤️ 💕 We are fighting this together!

Sending virtual support and positive thoughts!

Hi. I was diagnosed on 7/5. I was unsure what all results meant. I saw a recommendation on another site for "Breast Cancer School for Patients" it can be found on u tube and there are numerous videos to watch which my husband and I found very helpful. Videos were easier for me to follow than reading a lot of terms I didn't understand. It was a good education for us prior to meeting with surgeon.

Hi, I just got diagnosed on Friday. I have IPLC, er & pr positive. HER2. It has not gone into the nodes. It has moved to the surrounding breath tissue. I have an MRI on Thursday next week to see for sure it hasn't gone anywhere else. I am in shock 😲 I am praying and send love and hugs to all of you. Would be nice if we could keep in touch with a group of people. We need as much support as we can get! ❤️🙏🌹

Shelly W I agree it’s great to have the comfort of listening ears and in some way we’re all going through some type of breast cancer- a virtual support group. my heart goes out to all of you and sending prayers ❤️

A virtual support group would be a blessing!
