Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / October 2003Roll Call
Hi Everyone I have been reading this groups messages for the last 2 years .It has been a great support knowing others have similiar situations.I was diagnosed "Australian Breast Cancer Day" October 2001. I was 44 yrs old, married with 4 children, ranging 20 - 7 yrs. I had noticed a dimple in my right breast,went to GP,he said not to worry but have a mammogram for peace of mind! I made app. ,had mamm and ultrasound and was told then and there I had breast cancer-3 tumours- and they would let my GP know. I was eventually diagnosed with invasive ductal and invasive lobular cancer.(Has anyone else had this?) One tumour 4.3cm, one 3.8cm and one 1cm in the RBreast.Oestrogen negative,Progesterin positive. Grade 2. I had a mastectomy and lymph nodes removed (negatve). Then 4 AC chemo treatments. I am now having Zoladex implants every 28 days. At the time I received great support,especialy from my husband of 25 yrs. But the stress of this and many other things has been too much and my husband moved out 6 weeks ago. Best Wishes to all. Sue Dear Sue, I would love to get in contact with you.My cancer was oestrogen negative too,and there doesn't seem to be many of us about !

Then had core biopsy in 3 places - 2 came back benign , 1 suspicious. Surgeon was still sure it was malignant ,so ordered 'hook wire biopsies'.had this in 3 places then tumours were removed under general anaesthetic. they all came back malignant. grade 2. IDC & ILC. 2 x 2.5cm, 1 x 1cm. I then had total mastectomy which had another 1.8cm + 1.3 cm. Total= 2.5 + 1.8 = 4.3cm, 2.5 + 1.3 = 3.8cm. 1cm. ER - PR+ It then came as a great surprise to find all nodes negative! although increased mitotic activity. At a latter app, they noticed that the pathology report from the 1st biopsy showed a slight ER+. The doc said he would treat me as hormone dependent because of PR+.( zoladex impants - 6 more to go. 24 in total)My oncologist said I was a complicated case! So far,i'm doing really well.Apart from weight gain,hot flushes etc.Husband! It was good to get your reply Best Wishes to ALL Sue > Dear Sue, > I would love to get in contact with you.My cancer was oestrogen negative [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > heartfelt thoughts are with you all. > Kathleen |
