I was diagnosed with DCIS in Oct 25 left breast. Had lumpectomy in Dec 25 & reduction mammoplasty in right breast & told would have radiotherapy in Feb/March on left breast. Told very good prognosis. Pathology results in Jan filled me with total panic. Told I had 11mm grade 2 invasive ductual carcinoma in left breast &…
I’ve been hesitant to post because I didn’t want reality to set it but here I am. I’m a 33 year mother of 3, youngest is 6. Just like most of the ppl in the group, It all started with me noticing a lump. I took action almost immediately. I made an appointment to see my primary doctor which took me 2 weeks to get in. I…
As much as I like this forum/site, I was feeling incredibly ignorant and behind every time I connected. Everyone that posts lists all the letters, numbers, definers of their diagnosis. I kept thinking how do they have this memorized? Do they have a post it note on their laptop, or copy and paste? I am still just trying to…
Diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound today. The radiologist said it was for sure cancer. Large 3-5cm mass in breast with 1 enlarged lymph node. Both bi-rad5 for malignancy. I’m scared to death. Biopsy scheduled for tomorrow. I’m only 39. I have 4 young children. I just finished breastfeeding. I have no idea how I missed…
Found a lump just below my collarbone, referred for diag. mammogram and ultrasound. The mammogram didn't show anything as the lump is so high but the ultrasound was Birad 5 with irregular hypoechoic mass with irregular margins, echogenic rind, internal vavascularity and posterior shadowing, possible involvement of…
From my report: "In the left axillary tail and low axilla there is an ill-defined hypoechoic hypervascular mass with shadowing measuring 1.5 x 0.8 x 2.8 cm. No enlarged abnormal-appearing lymph nodes seen." Maaaaabe not, but I always had a suspicion it would come back. Previous history: DCIS - 2007 ILC, stage 2, grade 2 -…
I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3, stage 1 and triple negative in my left breast. After some tests and an MRI, a large mass was found in my right breast. Now I am waiting for my biopsy in my right breast to see if cancer is there as well. This will change the surgery and chemo treatment. It is hard to…
Hi there, I wanted to see if anyone out there has had the oncotype testing? I know everyone’s story (diagnosis, treatment, etc) is different. But I’m curious about the following if you’ve had the oncotype test: How long did it take for results to come back? If it was in the range of 16-25, were you offered to be part of…
My biopsy came back positive on 10/31/25. I met with the surgeon and talked about a lumpectomy and radiation. Now, my MRI showed another mass in the other breast and a lung nodule. So now I need another ultrasound and maybe biopsy and a CT scan. I’m afraid that my easy diagnosis is about to be much harder. Does this mean…
