Hello, My dr. wants me to get a breast MRI which uses gadolinium. I am very afraid of this as my dad had a cardiac arrest during contrast and also in addition to BC in my family there's a lot of Parkinsons. I also have autoimmune issues! Basically…I don't need any more problems. The dr will not allow me to have it without…
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…
Hi! I’m 40 and there’s a history of breast cancer in my family. Therefore I have to have a mammogram and ultrasound every year.

Monday I was told I carry a founder BRCA2 mutation. So, from lumpectomy to bilateral mastectomy. Drs. were so surprised, they are checking for test accuracy…
Hi All. New here and hoping someone can see this and talk me off the ledge. I have been having pain in my ribs. At first I thought it was a broken rib again (had it 6 months ago post radiation for no reason). But the I saw the cord and now two cords from my breast to rib. I am freaked out because my surgery was over a year…
Hello all, It's been a while since I've posted. Looking through the forum I'm finding a lot of comfort knowing I'm not alone! I had a giant 8cm Grade 3 ER-/PR- DCIS back in 2015 that was treated with Uni Mastectomy. No chemo or radiation. After 8 1/2 years of everything clear on MRI every year, I have now discovered an…
