A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat. Can you expand a little on the typre and stage of breast cancer, and what surgery and treatment you have had? This way we should be able to find someone who is going through the same experience as yourself.
We are always here for you whenever you want to talk.
Hi sorry I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer February 24th had surgery 24th March the cancer was deep inside under my boob had had biopsy on my lymph node recovered from surgery then started 3 weeks of radiotherapy 3th may now I'm on letrozole cancer tablets x
I’m glad to hear that you have caught this early. What did your surgery involve – was it a lumpectomy or a mastectomy and do you know what type of breast cancer you have? Were any of your lymph nodes involvd or not? How are you coping with the Letrozole?
I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the same breast. The first was 7 years ago and was followed by Tamoxifen. Almost a year to the day later, I found a second lump. This time I had a double mastectomy followed by Letrozole for 6 years. I have just finished taking Letrozole earlier this year.
We’ve spoken before elsewhere on the forum. I see that you have asked Lynne this question, but I presume that you were asking me. Yes, I finished taking Letrozole about 6 months ago.
I am glad to see that you are over ¾-way through your radiotherapy and hope that you are coping well with it. I’m doing fine thanks. I had a scare a few weeks ago, but fortunately all seems ok now – I just have to wait on the results of some blood tests, which should be back this week.
Again, you are catching your cancer fairly early, when it is a grade 2. The earlier you detect it and get it treated, the better the outcome should be.
Stay strong – It won’t be that long now until the radiotherapy is behind you.
Only had 2 sessions of chemo and ended up in hospital both times. Doctor said I’m on a high dose of treatment and my body isn’t coping with it. Going to tweet things for next time. It’s hard but hopefully things will be ok.
