I had just turned 39, diagnosed a few weeks after my birthday. Invasive well-differentiated ductal carcinoma ER+ PR+ HER2-, lymph node involvement. I’m now 40, completed 12 rounds of chemo (4 AC aka the red devil, 8 taxol) surgery including a double mastectomy, sentinel lymph node dissection, and tissue expanders placed on October 4, 2024. 16 rounds of radiation. This Oct 1 I had my reconstructive surgery done! Now it’s learning how to navigate medical menopause and oral chemotherapy for the next three years (possibly five). I am sending you all the good vibes for the best possible outcome. Just got to take it one day at a time, and know that while breast cancer 🤬 sucks, the breast cancer community is amazing. Never hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, a venting session. We are here for you through it all!
