Re: Hi from an HER2 Daughter Newbie

Hi Adriana, thanks for your lovely message.

I was just starting to enjoy feeling like I had my head clear again to focus well on my phd research when my own "just to be on the safe side" ultrasound showed up a new (and different from the rest) lump! Followed by fna, core biopsy, more testing of the core biopsy results (eek!), then an excisional.

Luckily it was benign, but I'm sore and fatigued from the excisional biopsy (and kind of amazed they can remove so much tissue from a small boob and make it look pretty ok by just readjusting the rest of the tissue). And really looking forward to being able to be a bit more useful again - can't carry anything heavier than a cup of tea for Mum at the moment. Oh well, grateful it's just a roadbump this time

Dance classes are usually my escape from overthinking, so 6 weeks off is frustrating, but some gentle yoga stretches sound like a great idea.

Here's to the 'new normal' that's gotta be just around the corner now
