Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
Hi…My second post in 4 years. I am a “so-far” survivor of IDC left breast, lumpectomy and 2 lymph nodes removed. I have been having some unexplained and undiagnosed pain on my left side near and under my rib cage. Radiates to my back. Painful at times to lay on my side, bend to pick something up, rarely radiates to my…
Hello, I’m hoping to seek some support from anyone who may have found themselves in a situation similar to mine, especially around the decision between re-excision and mastectomy/bilateral mastectomy. I’d really love to hear about your experiences and what helped you make your decision (if comfortable doing so, of-course).…
Hello, I'm so glad to have found this site and all of you. This is my first post, so hope I've done it right. I'm here to learn, share and be a comfort to someone else. I've been going thru my journey since late June. I have just finished wk 4 of recovery from my lumpectomy surgery. I have not started treatment yet - - I…
I keep on seeing posts that people have had these dual diagnoses; sometimes the parathyroid disease pre-dated the bc and sometimes the other way round. I am becoming convinced that the two are causally related, so am interested to see just how many of you have been affected. Many of us are getting osteoporotic and blaming…
Right Breast, 9:00, posterior depth 8cmfn. Hate that I'm here, but so thankful for a place to go. So far, prognosis seems good based on what we know right now (still need MRI, awaiting genetic testing, don't know staging, etc.). I met with 2 different surgeons in DFW are this week. Both said similar things and both seem to…
I just was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma ER+ PR+ HER2+ on Dec 23rd, 2023 but still do not have an oncologist. I do not know what is normal for being diagnosed with cancer as I have never had cancer in my life before. I do not know the Stage or Grade of the tumour yet. I am in Canada. When looking up anything…
Trying to decide between lumpectomy and radiation or bilateral mastectomy. Want to hear from some who have gone through each
Hi, I’m new here and honestly not thrilled to be in this group…this is a plot twist indeed for my life. I went in for a routine mammogram in early December. The imaging, pathology, etc., is complete. I'm currently navigating a diagnosis of triple-negative apocrine-type invasive carcinoma (TNAC), Stage 2, Grade 2. The tumor…
Decided on double mastectomy, having mri with contrast today, then meet again with breast & plastic surgeons on 2/19 to schedule procedure. Anxious, scared, feeling like I'm forgetting something…..just crazy
Hi everyone! I am currently in active treatment. I am so worried about having extranodal extension on my one lymph node. My cancer was 2.5cm and multifocal in my right breast. I had one lymph node positive packed with 1.7cm of cancer and ENE. I am ER+ (95%)/PR+ (80%) and HER2- (2+/FISH negative - Group 4). My cancer is…
