I have just been dx with IDC, tumor 1.2 cm grade 2, in same breast that I had DCIS, 2 lumpectomies and radiation 16 years ago. We are talking mastectomy, but wondering if anyone ever had a small tumor in a previously treated breast and just had lumpectomy? Some scattered DCIS was also found on the biopsy this month. Just…
I was diagnosed with IDC 11/14/21. Surgery has not ben completed but biopsy showed HR+, HER2-, grade 1. Recent PET/CT showed enlarged (2.5cm) superior mediastinal lymph node. There was no metabolic activity shown on PET or, FDG uptake was low enough to classify it as non-malignant. The Radiologist made no recommendation…
So, I had a mammogram in June (first if 4 years, I know, not the best but I hate doctors). Came back that I needed to follow up now with another mammogram and ultrasound. Had that done in July with a reading of benign breasts with moderate fibrocystic changes. BIRADS 2 - BENIGN. I read every "cyst's" dimensions and they…
Hello everyone! I just found out today that I have a 3cm tumor in my left breast 😓 Before I got this news, I was in a strong state of denial that any of this was even real, and it didn't weigh on me too much previously! But as of today, finding this out has made reality sink in quite suddenly and it all became very real to…
My diagnosis is Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Grade 2. Saw my surgical oncologist today who said because of size of mass and calcifications all around it he would do mysectomy of my right breast. I am fine with that. Ready to get the ball rolling! Haven’t got my HER2 results back yet. Waiting on that to see if I will need…
Hi. I was newly diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma left breast lower inner quadrant . It took a while for me to seek care as my presentation was unusual. I initially felt pain to left of sternum a year ago but did not feel a lump. I had had a normal physical and mammogram last fall. (I never read my mammogram report…
Not sure if I'm posting to the right place. I'm scheduled for an MRI on Monday and I'm concerned they will find additional things which may or may not be important. I have an appointment with a breast surgeon on Wed, so doubt the results will be ready by then. Also wondering if I will be able to work that day after or ride…
This is my first post here. I was diagnosed on 7/22 with left side IDC, E+P-HER2- and I'm having a lumpectomy next Wednesday 8/28. No genetic markers for cancer. I've had an MRI, the Savi Scout placed yesterday, the sentinel node injection next Tuesday. This morning I had a Dexascan and my surgeon called this afternoon and…

I was recently diagnosed via an unconventional route, dermatology, due to spots on my nipples. I've since seen a surgical oncologist and a medical oncologist. Initial thoughts were likely stage one as they could feel no swelling in my lymph nodes and my mammogram and ultrasound were clear. But my MRI came back a couple…
