I found out last week I have breast cancer. Stage 1 borderline Stage 2 as of 12/12 triple negative. Getting more imaging done to see if it’s spread anywhere else. Going to get my eggs retrieved and a port installed soon. 2024 I’ll start chemo.
I went in because I found a lump in end of Sep, battled with the insurance to get in for imaging done once that was done it was already November 1st then I had to wait for my doctor to sign the order by the time it was done I had my biopsy done on 12/1 and I get my results on Tuesday 12/5. I didn’t think this was going to happen.
I’m still trying to grasp this; some days I’ve accepted this is my life and other days I think this is a bad dream or joke. Last year I lost my dad to bladder cancer which spread to his kidney and ended up having kidney failure. No other history of cancer. I literally turned 30 in July. I have a great support system but I don’t want this I know it’s treatable but at what expense at what cost and time.
I’m a fellow 30 year old who was also just diagnosed with breast cancer and am also in shock. I’ve only been part of this group for about a week but I’ve felt so much comfort & support from it already. I found it helpful to learn as much as possible about my type of breast cancer & all the definitions & acronyms surrounding it as soon as I could. I also joined a few Facebook groups; one for breast cancer survivors in my area and a couple for invasive lobular specifically. Feel free to DM! It might suck but we’ll get through this ☺️
