Meet others who are just facing the diagnosis of a recurrence of breast cancer or metastatic (advanced) disease. You are NOT alone.
Greetings everyone. After months of not knowing, my mom has just been diagnosed with "metastatic adenocarcinoma and [results] are most consistent with origin from breast primary." The results are from colonoscopy and pathology is showing ER/PR+ and HER2-. For some background, she was diagnosed in 2013 with IDC on the right…
My mom just diagnosed with recurrence and we are waiting for the PET scan to see if it’s local or there is Mets the doctor is saying it’s unlikely to be Mets as the biopsy result shows ki67 is 10 % and The tumor size if 10mm my mom still worries and she is asking if they believe there is no Mets why they are doing a PET…
My surgical consult thinks my recent recurrence involves the Rotter’s Nodes and surrounding pectoral muscles . They are trying to come up with a plan to treat it locally but everyone seems to be scratching their heads about how to approach it. I am now being sent to a thoracic surgeon for a consult. Not instilling a lot of…
Hello to the community. I was only 43 at first diagnosis, IDC, Stage 1, Lumpectomy and radiation. At that time I was not given any medication because my doctor felt it would put me into early menopause and risk of uterine cancer. I am 69 and Recently diagnosed with IDC Stage 1, 3 spots in same breast. I have only met with…
My question; How much does a hip bone biopsy hurt after the fact and for roughly how many days? Background: BC #1 in 2007 5.5cm DCIS (I was refused mammogram as too young and told it was just normal lumpy breast for 4 years) BC#2 other side IDC 1cm and 4 smaller DCIS's found by mammogram. ER/pR pos Her2 neg, oncotype dx 2…
So I was just diagnosed with stage 4. When I turned 40 I want to get a mammogram because the skin was weird and never made appointment. Then I turned 41 got a mammogram and BOOM it’s in my bones which what the heck!! Maybe I’m naive but I had no clue that could happen on top of that it not being cureable. I’m having a hard…
Hello all, I love all of you but really never wanted to revisit these boards!!! However, I need some sanity and most of you know the anxiety, worry and sick feeling in the pit of your stomach with a diagnosis - let alone a recurrence. Jan 2020 - diagnosed with IDC ER, PR+, HER2- Grade 2 - KI67<5% - 2 tumors and one lymph…
Hi all. My whole body and brain is so anxious, and I know so many of you understand. I found out 3 weeks ago that I have another recurrence, so this is my third diagnosis. You would think since I've already been through this initial stage twice now I would roll with it better, but it's so so hard to wait without knowing…
I am curious whether there are many local recurrences of early stage BC even though a person has followed all treatment recommendations (lumpectomy or mastectomy, and endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor, etc). I opted not to do the AI as was told that rad therapy was most important and AI would only add 3% protection,…
I everyone. I have been gone from the boards for some time. I was diagnose with stage 2 breast cancer in 2013. Last week had a stomachache went to ER they did abdominal scan. Everything fine but found lesion on pelvis. completely unrelated to why I went to ER. After additional scans came back consistent with metastasis.…
