[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1716248, member: 94045"] I'm another that had breast cancer. I was diagnosed a couple of days before Christmas in 2012 with an aggressive grade 3 HER2 positive tumour. I went through surgery (lumpectomy), chemotherapy for 6 sessions, Herceptin infusions for 12 months and 3 weeks of radiotherapy. A few days after my first annual review in January 2014 I was diagnosed with T2, and still had 4 months of Herceptin infusions to go. I have recently been given the news I am officially in remission and have been discharged from the Breast Care Unit. It isn't pleasant, but is nowhere near as bad as films make out and is very doable. Cancer care, especially breast cancer, is second to none. They really look after you. Medications are prescribed to help with any potential side effects, and the Breast Cancer Care website and forum is wonderful. I urge you to join. [URL]https://forum.breastcancercare.org.uk/[/URL] One thing as you go through the cancer treatment, you must make that your priority and put diabetes firmly in second place. I wish you all the luck in the world on your journey. x [/QUOTE]
