Meet others who are just facing the diagnosis of a recurrence of breast cancer or metastatic (advanced) disease. You are NOT alone.
First diagnosed in 2020 stage one grade 2 ( very small tumour). Had mastectomy on left breast. Tried tamoxifen but was unable to continue after 2 years due to severe chronic nausea( was down to 100 pounds and on gravol and ondasetron for months). In mid November 2024, my armpit was itchy and that is where I felt a lump.…
I was diagnosed and treated for ILC Stage 2b 12 years ago. Had BMX and took Tamox and AI for about 6 years. I was told 1-2% chance of recurrence in chest wall, etc. Low and behold, a lump under my arm on original BC side. Biopsy confirmed not a lymph node but ILC tumor. Surgeon planning to remove tumor and potentially do…
Hello I’m new here, I’m 33 Diagnosed in 2022 stage 3 DIC, 5/19 axillary lymph node involved, ER+, HER -. I did 5months chemo, double mastectomy, radiation. I’m now on verzenio and anastrozole.

I was dx in 2011 with IDC ER+PR+Her2-. It was in the left breast around 1.2cm. I had a lumpectomy, chemo (TCx4) and rads. I couldn't tolerate Tamoxifen so I took Aspirin each day as the theory back then was it could keep inflammation down and possibly ER+ away. So here I am 13 years later and my mammo showed I now have 2…

Today I was told the cancer in my colon is spread from my breast. The question I have because my oncologist has never come across this before is what…
Hello, l am from India, and my mother has recently been diagnosed with liver and bone metastasis. My family is considering moving her to the United States for further treatment. Could anyone please provide recommendations for the best hospitals in the U.S. for such conditions? Additionally, I would appreciate any…
Anyone taking Kisqali for Advanced Stage Metastatic Cancer. If so how how long did it take for you to know if it was working for you? I have Mets to my liver and spine, likely in lungs too. I just want to feel better.
Made it almost five years. I was concerned about slowly rising TM so had a CT last summer. I did see something on some of the vertebrae when they showed me the scan but was told it was just some arthritis. Returned this month and on what was to be my last routine CT scan, before they sent me off into the “every two year…
Good evening everyone; I live in Turkiye and my mother inlove has stage 2 hormonal breast cancer. She took chemo, surgical operation then radiotherapy but after all of this, cancer cells again reveal at the same breast (left). By the way she has an implant after surgical operation. Currently she begins to take 2'nd chemo…
I have just been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I’ve had breast cancer before, but that was diagnosed at stage 2 and I was able to get surgery, chemo and radiation. How does everyone handle knowing that cancer is just staying in their body? It’s scary knowing that I can’t do anything about it.
