Back in 2008, I was MamaShift on here. Oddly, I'm back here under very similar circumstances. In January, I moved back to the States -- after an adulthood abroad -- after my husband ended our 28 yr marriage. Things have not gone well since then. My health has been a major challenge, but my mental health as well. I spent 10…
Hello :) I was diagnosed on 4/10 and had a double mastectomy on 5/18. I have a DIEP reconstruction scheduled for 9/2. I had to have a CT Abdomen to map out my veins and make sure everything looked fine for surgical planning. They found a 4 mm liver nodule. I have been taking Tamoxifen and over the last 6 weeks have lost…
Hi everyone Well I'm back again, I know it's not where we want to be but if we have to be somewhere for support this has always been the best place to come for it. I have been here before in the past years with worries of cysts and complex cysts in both breasts where I have gone through Ultrasounds, Mammograms and MRI's. I…
Had a CT performed for another issue and report states, “8 mm low-density lesion with tiny soft tissue nodule in the right hepatic lobe. Consider dedicated liver imaging for further characterization.“ Anyone have a similar experience that wasn’t liver mets?
Hello, comrades, Here I am again. Not that I hadn’t thought about posting before, but… here I am once more, completely freaking out. My hands are freezing and sweating at the same time, and my brain is busily imagining every possible worst-case scenario: me disappearing from the world without achieving my lifelong dream of…
Anyone exp this? This week I had my first breast MRI since my double mastectomy three years ago. Results showed two suspicious areas. Quickly ultrasound done confirmed nodules to the left breast. Same breast as initial CA. Biopsy yesterday and now we wait. I have been on AIs and Zoladex for three years. Could it be scar…
Five minutes ago I discovered a small lump not far from my original cancer (outer edge of breast). Does the PS anchor silicone implants in any way? Could this be a calcification of some kind? I do some muscle strengthening with weight machines. I am on vacation, away from home, and shaking like a leaf.
jade mastectomy with direct reconstructive sx . Implants bilaterally. Fat graphing 1 year later on right breast for symmetry. Now 6 years later found 1.4 cm polymorphic lesion on mammo. Scheduled for stereotactic bx. Have severe health anxiety. Looking for positive stories that may point to this being benign or caused from…
As I posted earlier, I am brand new to this site and new to the world of breast cancer or a scare of breast cancer, I don't know which just yet. I am 38 yoa and I have had a lump in my left breast since mid May, had a mammo, and ultrasound, only to tell me that it's a suspicious abnormality. I noticed another topic about…
