Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
I am 14yrs post ER/PR stage one. My doc says I'm low on testosterone, and that is the reason for all my symptoms in menopause. He suggested the pellet and feels it is safe but I am so scared to try it! No Dr I've reached out to has said either way, just "no data to help us'. Hoping some people hear have had good guidance,…
Hello. I am new to this forum — actually I am new to any forum. This is my first-ever post of this nature. I have had a lumpectomy and radiation and now I'm taking estrogen suppression medications for 5 years. I want to do whatever I can to ensure this cancer never returns. Has anyone added mistletoe therapy to their…

Hi my name is Deanna and I am 48 I recently went to the ER for a lump that is really hurting.

it’s been a whirlwind since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After the lumpectomy they said it was stage 2a with 2 lymph nodes affected, which they removed. I had a cat scan afterwards with a slightly suspicious node nearby. I had been told that I would have radiation for 4 weeks followed by hormone blockers for 5 years…
I’m having a hard time with the fact that my grade 3 tumor had LVI. My oncologist doesn’t think it’s a big deal since my nodes or negative, but I’ve read a lot of mixed info online about it and it keeps me up at night. Hoping that someone who has been through it can help me understand what this means as far as my…
