Managing high recurrence risk or high risk of developing a second breast cancer.
In October 2025 I was diagnosed with sclerosing adenosis. I do understand this is a benign condition, but according to the NIH, and Mayo Clinic studies, the damage the disease causes creates a “breeding ground” for certain cancers - carrying a 1-2 fold increased risk of developing these cancers in 15 years time. It’s…
hi all, I write worried about my mom, and I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience. 3-4 years ago she had a very early stage cancer in her right breast, it was removed and she had radiation, she says about 3 weeks worth.

51 yr old high risk from family and had a mri. Found something. Was sent in for ultrasound. Now they have 2 spots in my right breast that waiting for biopsy appointment. Very scared. Dense tissue in both wonder if they should have done a ultrasound on the left too?
Many of you have experienced pain under the arms or felt "swollen" lymph nodes and have had reports that were just short of complete in describing them in my opinion. The overall size of a lymph node is more often less important than their internal architecture in breast cancer. The key is the thickness of the cortex and…
asking I went for a follow up 3D mamagram and very hurtful sonagram and afterwards was told they found a small spot in My left breast and to come back in six months I didn't like hearing that at all to wait to see if it grows I'd like it out immediately the doctor I went to afterwards didn't seem to think waiting was just…

The biospy numbing was very painful because of the retroareolar area being the target. I had lots of bleeding and had to wear a compression wrap home, instead of a bra. I developed a large hematoma but…
Husband here. My wife was diagnosed about 2 1/2 years ago. She is doing well. But that's not to say there haven't been more than a few moments of high anxiety thinking something's wrong or just waiting for test results to rule out a recurrence or mets. I hope it's ok with the great members here that I start a thread that's…
Hello all. I haven't posted in quite a while. In October 2025 I celebrated my 5 year cancerversary. On May 1,, 2026 I was in the ER for a completely different reason, and had a CT scan with contrast of my thorax. The results from the radiologist took longer than the ER docs expected. When they came back in to talk…
