Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
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…
5 months now on Letrozole…post 20 radiation treatments after removal of 1 cm invasive ductal carcinoma, oncotype 17 and no nodes positive but high grade all markers. The severe hot flashes are back and with adrenaline rushes that keep me from falling quickly back to sleep. Been awake every 1-2 hrs for years now with hot…
I am 85. Diagnosed in April with IDC, right breast, grade 3, stage 1A, 1.8 cm. Surgeon removed tumor and cancerous intramammary lymph node close to tumor. No lymph nodes removed underarm. Seeing medical oncologist this week to discuss treatment plan. Hoping I don’t have to do chemo!
