I am new here looking for support.
My name is Rachel I am 33 was diagnosed in May 2023 Stage 2. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Estrogen positive, progesterone positive, HER2 positive. I went through a needle biopsy, port placement, and a lumpectomy of the right breast. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and still receiving immunotherapy. Lupron shot every 3 months. Letrozole every night. I am afraid it may have returned in my left breast I will find out in January 2026. I really need support. I am experiencing lots of anxiety over this scare. If it has returned I’m getting a mastectomy. I am tired of dealing with this. I just recently started working a part time job for the first time since this diagnosis because I was denied disability multiple times. Soon as things started going great, I lost both my grandmothers within two weeks of each other in October and November of this year. I am grieving and now battling this constant worry of it returning. I am trying to stay positive but it is very hard to do. I am a young woman supposed to be enjoying life at this period in my lifetime I didn’t ask for any of this. I am angry. I am returning to work the 30th and I am so excited for that to get my mind off of all of this. Thank you for this website and lovely community!
