Hi there, I'm getting mixed messages on this topic. I had Apocrine Breast Cancer - Grade 3 Stage 1 in my left breast in October 2015. I underwent a lumpectomy along with lymph node removal (lymph nodes were precautionary & found negative). I completed radiation, chemo and herceptin. In October 2018, I was DCIS positive in…
Hi Everyone! I had my second covid vaccine dose last June 2021 which caused lymph nodes to light up during my petscans including my tonsils . Doctors don’t seem to be too concerned since there has been regression in intensity and size with regards to my lymph nodes and even if my tonsils are still highly reactive, they are…

Assuming that your tumor markers (Ca27.29, Ca15-3) have always been correlated with imaging, after covid vaccine, does anyone experience rise in tumor markers WITHOUT correlation with increase in size of tumor from imaging? Thanks. Nguyen
I recently stumbled on an article that says there could be a link between Covid and breast cancer recurrence. Needless to say it scared the crap out of me! Anyone have any insight into this or heard something similar? We recently had Covid at our house (fortunately I was the least sick out of everyone) and now I'm a little…
Dear all, I just finished chemo and am wondering when it is safe to rejoin society. Maybe others have the same question? I am fully vaccinated, and was before chemo started, but will still be wearing my mask, avoiding crowds, restaurants, etc. And so is my husband, to keep me safe (bless him!). Our state fully opened up,…
Monday Jan 3rd is still the first day of school in the new year. Things are pretty bad around here, but it's been made very clear that in-person school will be running. I have such mixed feelings about what we should do. Virtual school did NOT work for my kid and was actually detrimental- 8:30- 2:30 mandatory screen ruined…
FYI - I got a non-contrast CT scan today due to a cough, and my lungs were clear, but they found that my axillary lymph nodes on the breast cancer side were "borderline enlarged" and it was "nonspecific" (whatever that means). It's the same side where I got the first COVID vaccine shot three weeks ago, and the oncology…
Now that my breast cancer is pretty much a "non-concern" I thought life would be less stressful. It isn't, in fact I don't know what caused me more stress, cancer of Covid. I work in a middle school giving support to special education students within the regular education classes. This requires me to be "up close and…
