Meet others with less common forms of breast cancer, such as Medullary carcinoma, Mucinous carcinoma (colloid carcinoma), Papillary carcinoma, Cribriform carcinoma, Tubular carcinoma, Metaplastic tumors, Paget's disease, Phyllodes tumor, Adenoid cystic carcinomas and Angiosarcoma.
Hi.. I was wondering if someone could help me understand my pathology report. It says invasive ductal carcinoma with mucinous differentiation. What does mucinous differentiation mean? I also read that the oncotype isn't validated for pure mucinous carcinoma. Would an oncotype score be valid with "mucinous differentiation?"…
I've recently been diagnosed with this rare form of IDC that is more aggressive. It is a mixed form containing ductal and micropapillary components. Although my tumour was (had BMX and reconstruction) only 1.4cm, it has been found in 3 of 7 lymph nodes sampled and is a Grade 3. I've yet to be staged as I need scans to…
Anyone out there ever have a recurrence of Paget's? I'm 10 years out from a DX of Paget's and DCIS, grade 3. Had 2 MX. Cancer was on L side. A couple of months ago, I developed this concave circle area on my L chest. Then I developed this very small fine rash on the top edge of this circle. Today I had a punch biopsy of…
I haven't checked in for a while just wondering if there are any others with a similar diagnosis or if there are any resources or information you could share with me.
Hi, I'm Catherine, 52 years old and 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with Tubular breast cancer. The lump was removed as well as all my right arm lymph nodes because 2 nodes were affected. I then had chemotherapy and radiotherapy. And Tamoxifen. I'm wondering whether it's worth continuing with tamoxifen as it's linked to…
I was diagnosed with tubular breast cancer 3/ 22 . Treated with lumpectomy, partial breast rads and now AI’s for 5 yrs. It is my understanding that pure tubular breast cancer rarely spreads outside the breast so wouldn’t it make sense just to do a mastectomy instead of the other treatments? My surgeon steered me clear of a…
So next month I would have celebrated ten years since my IDC dx and subsequent BMX with recon... But a few months ago I noticed two tiny nodules in the skin above my suture line. Had them biopsied. The path report came back positive for papillary carcinoma with microinvasion. MO is not advocating for radiation, but is…
Hi everyone, My mother was recently diagnosed with a 12mm papillary carcinoma. Apparently the imaging suggested no definite signs of invasion (but included an encapsulated cycstic papillary carcinoma). A lumpectomy is scheduled in the next two weeks, at which point I guess we'll hear more. They're already planning to do a…
Hi I'm receiving chemotherapy (TC) for a 11mm, node negative, grade 3, triple negative breast cancer with medullary features. Two pathology reports concluded that the tumour was 'probably' medullary, with chemotherapy and most likely radiotherapy advised as adjuvant treatment. As this is such a rare cancer, there seems to…
Hi everyone, Just searching for advice- I’ve been worrying about Pagets for a few months but primary care doctor and OB does not seem to believe anything is wrong. It started last August when my left nipple was scabbing- it was yellow/whitish tinge and wouldn’t actively discharge but when I looked at my nipple it just…
