Hi and sorry to hear about your husbands news. I am a male and was diagnosed November 4 2022 with IDC grade 2 ER positive PR negative and HER2 Positive. My experience so far is waiting for results which is frustrating but they will come. I had a mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy on December 12th was scheduled earlier but I got covid right after diagnosis. Mastectomy was not bad, the worst part was under the armpit from the lymph node, not painful just annoying, I also had a drain in for 2 weeks that needed to emptied 3 times a day. I know this is a scary time for both of you, stay calm and strong and he will get thru it. As my wife told me its a small hiccup in a long life.

My first round of Chemo will be Wednesday 1/25/23 after six rounds it will then be 15 radiation treatments. Remember not all breast cancer needs Chemo or radiation. If your going to the Mayo I am sure the Oncologist will guide you through the process they have been great with me.
