Hi, had my biopsy yesterday- took samples from my left breast and lymph nodes . Very painful, but was expecting that. The radiologists report basically said that I have locally advanced breast cancer - as it’s it at 3 lymph nodes and the tumour is 39 x 28 x 53 mm. So by my understanding this is Stage 3 . MRI will be in the next week or so. What can I expect - if anyone has any similar diagnosis- please let me know Thanks

This diagnosis brings many questions and concerns, which is completely natural. While each person's journey is unique, many community members have shared their experiences with locally advanced breast cancer and found strength in connecting with others who understand. The upcoming MRI will provide your medical team with more detailed information to guide your treatment plan, and hopefully other members here can offer insights about their own paths forward.
