Meet others concerned about developing a recurrence or metastases.
6 years out from 2b/3a dx— treatment was masectomy with total axillary nodal dissection, chemo, rads and still on arimidex. I recently discovered a hard pea size lump a couple of inches under my collar bone about an inch from my arm pit. My oncology nurse practitioner couldn't find it during our visit and I couldn't find…
Hello, I am a close relative of a young woman who was recently operated on for HER2-positive, ER/PR-negative pleomorphic lobular breast cancer, with a Ki67 of 12%. The tumor was large, 93 mm, and 6 out of 11 axillary lymph nodes showed metastases. Blood-based testing has also indicated evidence of spread. The tumor was…
I went into the er for kidney pain, and we did find a stone. But in that scan they found “2 areas expansile mixed lytic sclerotic density in the right anterior 6th and 7th ribs. These are new from 2023. Suspicious for pathologic lesions.” And I’m scared. So scared. I got home from the er Thursday night and called oncology.…
I would like to know if anyone has experienced severe rectal pain and burning and then diagnosed with spinal mets. I had ILC in the left breast and had a mastectomy in January 2023. I had radiation in May and June 2023. There was spread to one node. I was placed on Anastrozole, changed to Exemestane and then finally to…
So I was diagnosed 6 years ago.. it was stage 1 grade 1 IDC no lymph node involvement.. my doctors did not give me an oncotype test.. I had a lumpectomy radiation and an aromatase inhibitor for 5 years.. is there any reason that they don't give that test?.. I wouldn't mind knowing what my recurrence risk is I don't…
if there is anybody out there, who sees this who has or had bone met, and would like to let me know what your symptoms or what it felt like I would really appreciate it. I've been having pain in my groin for several months on and off it feels deeper than the muscle because I can't push on the muscle and feel pain if that…
UPDATE - most likely benign - see below for details and cautions of how one scan leads to another…to another…to… Had a cardiac CT due to elevated LDL cholesterol. All clear so no statin - 0 calcium score. BUT a pulmonary nodule, partly solid, "measuring up to 9 mm" was found on the lower lobe of my right lung. No…
Hi All, I recently went for my yearly Breast MRI and they found 2 new foci, 1.8cm apart in my left reconstructed breast (DIEP). They have classified it as BI-RADS 4, and are sending me to get a surgeon to do an MRI guided biopsy. I'm obviously afraid it's back. Wondering if anybody has had a recurrence after DIEP in that…
This is an out there question but has anyone’s cancer ever been flagged on the airport tsa scanners. In the last year I have flown about 6 times and every airport to/from my trip highlights my abdomen. I have to get my stomach patted down. I finished treatment for triple negative in 2016 but every ache and pain still makes…
Hello all, I am 8 years out from a stage 1 IDC diagnosis, and I don’t think about breast cancer much anymore. It took me a very long time to get to this point. I do get nervous every year though as my annual mammogram gets nearer. I feel the stress and anxiety but have always been fortunate to have clear mammograms.…
