lunawolf

hi,

on feburary 18 2013 i was diagonsis with dcis stage 1 her2 postive. I wondering if there is any other people going through the samething(i know there is just did not know how to reach out) i guess i am finally stopping and processing everything. sense i was diagonsis i was in surgery then tring not to breakdown because everyone else was mainly my mom was and then after surgery i start chemo and after my second round i went back to work full time. i am now back off work recovering from reconstruction. so now i guess everything is hitting me and i really do not have any one to talk to about what i have been through. i just found this board so i thought i would post and see if anyone would like to respone back.

thanks

lunawolf - Just wanted to say hi and welcome!  Even though I'm very sorry you're going through this, you've found the best place in the world to laugh, cry, vent, and commiserate!  We discuss some pretty strange stuff, so just go ahead and let it out.  You will meet some incredible women on these boards, I know I have...

lunawolf, so sorry you are facing this. You might benefit from talking to a counsellor or psychologist. Perhaps your cancer centre or doctor can refer you.

I know this diagnosis and treatment are a lot to get your head around. We are here for you!

God bless you.

Luna,  I am 29 with breast cancer.  But i have IDC, grade 3, er/pr positive, HER neg.  This site is very active so it's great for side effects and research information but if you are looking for more people your age you should check out:  http://community.youngsurvival.org/.  There is also a Ladies in their 20's topic on this site you might want to consider reading but you're so far along in your treatment it might not be as helpful to you as it was for me?  How is your recovery from surgery going?  I am supposed to have a bmx with recon in Feb.  I'm so excited!  I'm already shopping for new dresses that I could soooooooo never wear before!  Vegas here I come! (hahah everyone so annoyed with me for being amped about it!)

hey sparklekat,

recovery is going good. when i woke up the first thing i asked them was if i had drain tubes. lolol i hated those thing after my first surgery didnt have this one. yea i am kinda waiting for the soreness to go away to see how my clothes fit the doctor said he had to go a little bigger then i was wanting to make the chest look correct so yea i waiting to see how this looks. i would love to go to vegas hope you have fun when you do go lolol and recontruction surgery seem easyier then the masectomy. i hope everything goes well with your surgery coming up
