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 am an AA 29F that just had an ultrasound done due to a new breast lump finding. I’ve had it for around a year or so but it felt more pronounced after losing some weight, it is very palpable right next to the nipple.

Generally healthy but suffer from GIRD (have had several esophageal dialations) and the occasional hernia. Over the years my breast implants had encapsulated to the point where it was…

I am nearing my 5 year anniversary of Stage 1, Grade 3, BC in my left breast and today the mammogram and sonogram picked up somethin in my right breast. (I just had a clear MRI on this breast 8 months ago!) The radiologist said it could be a hematoma as there is no vascularity and it is very small (5mm) but I am spiraling…

I had a PET in November that lit up on a couple of spots in my left lung and three level 2 cervical nodes. Currently on a watch and see. Anyone have some information on this newest scan? Not…
