There is light
I've only just found this part of the forum and wanted to briefly share my story.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 DCIS lymph node involvement at 32 weeks pregnant last year. Luckily I was in quite late in 3rd trimester so we all decided that inducing the baby at 34 weeks would be the best course of action, before I started chemo. The birth didn't exactly go to plan and I ended up with an emergency section and my little boy spent nearly 2 weeks in special care. We got 3 days at home with him before I started chemo!!
Anyway I'm about to start my (hopefully) final chemo tomorrow. At my last scan my lump has shrunk to just under 1cm and they have had to place a wire marker in my boob to mark the area in case it vanishes altogether. I'm seeing surgeon next week to discuss what happends next.
I just wanted to give others hope and say that yes it is hard, it is a complete and utter shock but it is doable.
Lots of love and hugs to you pregnant ladies.
