Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July had my surgery now going in for my chemo treatments taxatere and cytoxan has anyone use these meds before it will be given every 21 days starting Oct 3rd
I will soon go for more surgery on Feb 27th, admitting diagnosis " undefined probable malignancy left breast" Once again I had to bear stupid comments as in the first time I was diagnosed. Stupid comment 1 " Oh we all have cancer cells and have concerns " I wanted to say 'Ok you take my daily cancer concerns and I'll take…
IDC, ER+, PR+, HER2-, 1.8cm, wasn't in lymph nodes in the original biopsy. How did you decide on your surgery? I want this gone and don't want to constantly worry it's going to come back, but also want to keep sensation. Is it possible to do a masectomy with reconstruction during the same surgery while maintaining…
Hello ! I am back six year after lumpectomy and brachy therapy. This time same breast but close to surface that it grew into the skin. Per my pet scan, all other lymph and organs are clear. They lost my node during my unilateral mastectomy. Stage IIIA -IV. Not sure how to get final stage. Onco dx pending. Anyone else like…
Hi, Please be gentle 😉this is my first post. I had a lumpectomy on 7/31/2024 (almost three weeks ago). I didn't have much pain immediately after the surgery, but I have gotten what I've been told is nerve-ending pain. I've been to the surgeon and I get it; it's gonna take time for the nerves to heal. I take gabapentin for…
Hi there, I'm roughly 18 months out from my original diagnosis of IDC Grade 1, Stage (Onco 9) and have some concerns. My initial biopsy was for a group of microcalcifications (turned out benign) and architechtural distortion (maligant). However, during this initial the biopsy, the radiologist found a second set of…
Hi I am wondering if anyone have had an MRI without contrast. Is that better than a 3d mammogram for dense breasts or an ultrasound? Just wondering as reading up on the contrast used for MRIs and getting nervous on using it as it saying that gadolinium can stay in your body for a LONG time and even staying in the brain.…
Hi all, I'm just wondering how much you think or don't think about recurrence. We are all different, and we have different chances of recurrence, but I wonder if you think about it. I was diagnosed in February. DMX in March, currently on Tamoxifen for five years. Taking a daily pill is a great way to think about the…
I had a lumpectomy of my 1 cm lump and 5 lymph nodes. There’s been some new pain and all kinds of sensations recently. It’s disconcerting. Could it be nerve endings healing? Anyone else had this
Hi all. I was diagnosed with tubular IDC earlier this year following a core biopsy (grade 1, ER/PR+). This hadn't shown up on my routine mammogram due to dense breasts but in self examination and then at ultrasound. They measured it at 17mm x 6mm at ultrasound. I then had an MRI to further confirm diagnosis and this…
