Meet others concerned about developing a recurrence or metastases.
Wondering if anyone has had a recurrence with early stage grade 1 cancer? I usually see folks on here with recurrence after being diagnosed with grade 2 or 3. Just curious because I don't see it much in the literature for grade 1
Hi there, I had a double mastecomy & diepflap reconstruction in April 2021. I didn't have clean margins in my right breast. I did however have chemo and radiation afterwards. I had IDC stage 3 in both breasts, left side 6/13 and right side 5/11 positive lymphnodes at the age of 38. I have this roundish slightly darker than…
Hi All, I have an appointment with my oncologist on Friday. My armpit has been aching for a few weeks now. I actually had what I thought was an impinged shoulder back in June from swimming, so I thought the armpit pain was associated with that. Shoulder is better but armpit pain is not going away. Also, I had a rash next…

Husband here. My wife was diagnosed about 2 1/2 years ago. She is doing well. But that's not to say there haven't been more than a few moments of high anxiety thinking something's wrong or just waiting for test results to rule out a recurrence or mets. I hope it's ok with the great members here that I start a thread that's…
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.
