Meet others concerned about developing a recurrence or metastases.
My bc diagnosis was in 2021 and I had a lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy 12/21, followed by radiation 3/22. I was 71 at the time. My diagnosis was pure mucinous, clear margins, no lymph node spread, grade 2, stage 1.About a month ago I experienced complete numbness of my right leg and foot from the groin down. It lasted…
Hi I am wondering at what point will the oncologist order a PET scan. Is it mostly for patients with a high risk or symptoms of other issues? Or can I request one just to be sure that I am "all good"? Just anxious to see if I have or not have any other thing going on. I have a diagnostic mammogram and MRI coming up in…
Hi All I’ve been a member here for 20 years and 2 years ago I had my 4th BC DX.

(Nb…
After being diagnosed with a new breast cancer (my third in the same breast but apparently not a recurrence based on pathology), I had a PET scan prior to my scheduled SMX.

I started having a very very slight cough, I want to say last winter. It was so slight, I would cough once or twice in the morning,…

I recently went in for my 14 th mammogram since then and calcification has been popping up on the right one for the last few 3D mammos. It went from 2 or 3 to about 20 tiny dots on the 03/2024 imaging. The report indication said: indeterminate cluster of…
ALP is getting high after chemo. It never go back to normal and My MO wasn’t concern. I went to Bone specialist and he found that it’s coming from Bone. I freak out. I am getting bone scan. I don’t have any symptoms. Any similar situations?
Wow, I have been gone from this site for so long I had a hard time figuring out where things were! This place was a godsend, and every time I start to worry about something, the ladies here have always helped, and I tried to do the same. History - I was diagnosed with Stage IIB back in 2009, had bmx, ACT chemo, radiation,…

I'm just about 1 year out from my Stage 1 diagnosis. Had a double mastectomy last July with reconstruction. Tissue expanders were exchanged for implants in November. Had to have a bit of fat grafting/scar revision this past April. Just after this last surgery, I felt a small lump just above my implant. At the time, I…
