Discuss next steps, options, and resources.
I am 37 years old and a mother of 4 little ones. I had two lumpectomies 1 week ago and was just diagnosed today with DCIS Grade II, ER+/PR+. Unfortunately margins were not clear. My breast surgeon gave me two options 1- she is highly recommending a massectomy with reconstruction. She stated that due to my breast being very…
Hello this is my first time posting. I am having a difficult time dealing with my recent metastatic breast cancer diagnosis from early spring this year. I had been in remission for almost 15 years and thought cancer was a thing of my past…but here I again try to find hope and encouragement from other survivors fighting…
Hi - I have been looking at various posts on this site all of last week, and found all the posts to be so encouraging and helpful. Earlier today, I was diagnosed with "intermediate to high grade ductal carcinoma in situ with micro calcifications" of the left breast. I ran this by AI, and it sounds like the cancer has not…
I had a biopsy 3 months ago, and did a follow up ultrasound last week to make sure the treatment was working. The US report showed the tumor had grown, and by volume calculations it was 150% larger than the ultrasound done 3 months ago (in August) right before the biopsy. For comparison, the tumor had increased only 60%…

Hello, I've been on this forum for the last several days and just joined today as my GP advised me this afternoon that my biopsy results came back confirming breast cancer. I don't have much info other than the size of lump which is 3.75cm x 2.75 cm x 2.75 cm. Feeling all over the place with this diagnoses and also kicking…
I 42 was diagnosed in 2018 with Estrogen and Progesterone positive breast cancer, Her2 negative. Back in July I was told I had pneumonia kept going back for cheat x-rays, and had a CT in July that didn't say anything about a reoccurrence. I went to the ER because I was having pain in my leg and the week before it was pain…
I am recently diagnosed and am having a lumpectomy with Sentinel node removal in 5 days. Looking for suggestions from real people, who have been through this, for when I come home. Will I be able to wash my hair? Or should I just cut it off? Serious question. I've had a few neck surgeries and cutting it off was easier…
Hi all. A little over a month ago I found a bump in my armpit that felt like a small grape. Within 3 weeks I had a mammogram and ultrasound, a biopsy two days later, and this last Monday I found out I have cancer (IDC with mucosal features). Two masses in my left breast (<2 cm) plus the swollen lymph node in my armpit.…
