Re: Second DCIS, same breast, strong family history -- remove one breast or both?
Thank you. Those are good ideas. More genetic testing might be wise; I'm just not sure I can get it done before the surgery, which I expect to happen in the next few weeks. I'll reach out to the hospital and see what they say.
I believe this second cancer is ER positive, but I didn't see anything about PR positive. First DCIS was positive for both. Can't have a breast MRI because of a magnetic implant behind my breastbone. (Long story.) Ultrasound was clear for the other breast, though.
I'm sorry you've dealt with this twice too. And yeah, I also feel much more prepared this time, and much less panicked. So at least there's that. :)

Re: De Novo Stage IV
Hi, I don’t post often but I like to check in once a year, during the month of my initial diagnosis. It’s been five years since my de novo diagnosis. My daughters were 2 and 5 at the time, and are now 7 and 10.
We have been keeping busy with our favorite fall activities like apple picking and decorating for Halloween. Yesterday we enjoyed a trip to the zoo :)
I have been on Enhertu for 56 cycles (three week cycles), and am so grateful it has continued to work for me. This forum was a great source of kindness and hope early in my diagnosis, and I hope my annual posts help others in the same way. Best wishes and love to all of us! ❤️
I’m very sorry to hear about @kbl . I will keep her family and friends in my thoughts. ❤️
Re: Anyone starting brand drug, Enhertu?
Thanks again for keeping us up to date Miriam! I am currently only on Herceptin and Faslodex, after another stint with chemo last year following first progression...but hoping Enhurtu will be available in my country in the near future.
God's richest blessings

Re: De Novo Stage IV
Dear Denny123, I was thinking… can they remove the port on that side and install new one on the other? Could that solve these bacteria problems? 23 years… I know it by heart but every time I read it it lifts me up and gives us so much hope! Hugs, Saulius

All animals at the sanctuary were rescued due to injury, owner abuse or illegal possession of a non-native animal. They live out their natural lives there.

Sloth with her 3 week old son.
When it's lunch time sloths move quickly.
3 week old on left and 4 month old on right. Both are orphans due to mom hit by car and other mom killed by a dog.

@petite1 @betrayal your holiday adventure photos are great! I've been viewing them numerous times. I work all this weekend and it's super slow. So I was able to catch up on all 49 new posts!!! Tomorrow I have my annual eyeball tests and Tuesday an endometrial biopsy. Exercise this week will be tricky as I miss all three of my scheduled classes for appointments. ugh. I'm watching baseball Go Jays Go as well as hockey and saw the last period of the Nuckleheads vs Washington today. Canucks are lucky it stayed 4-3. They went into the third at 4-1. ugh.
Kitties are not amused that the weather is tipping but still try to go out if I open the door to the catio, Hope everyone is doing well.
Re: Second DCIS, same breast, strong family history -- remove one breast or both?
I was diagnosed with DCIS and ended up after 2 surgery’s having a bilateral mastectomy. Pathology showed minor DCIS in the “good” breast. I’m so thankful I went ahead and had the bilateral.
Re: thread for middle age to older Christian women.
Hello,
My name is Susie, I'm 49 and I am a Christian. Thank you for starting this thread! When I first started visiting bc.org, it broke my heart to see the "anybody else an atheist but me" thread and the fact it had so many posts. I don't know how people get through this without the Good Lord. I know without a doubt that all the prayers that were said for me brought me through this and I give him all the praise and the glory for it! Our Heavenly Father is SO Good!
