For those confronting a new primary diagnosis or undergoing treatment.
Double mastectomy 7 years ago. New 1-2 cm cancerous lump found on breast and also in three sentinel nodes have all been removed. Same cancer (EST+, HER2- ). Having more surgery next week to remove 1st and 2nd level nodes. After surgery, my oncologist is prescribing Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide every two weeks for 4…
Looking to connect with others who have had a second primary breast cancer. First diagnosis was in 2016, found on a routine mammogram. I was 43 at that time Stage 1A no nodal involvement, oncotype 7 had lumpectomy, radiation and 5 years of Tamoxifen. I had a young family at the time and kept it from my youngest as he was…
Hello all - I was diagnosed with stage II triple positive breast cancer in 2020. Had lumpectomy, chemo TCHP and 11 additional rounds of HP and 33 rounds of radiation. In 2022, had a prophylactic hysterectomy. In 2024, cancer came back as hormone negative and her2 positive. This time it had spread to one spot in the liver.…
I was diagnosed with angiosarcoma in November 2024, 15 years after treatment for triple negative breast cancer in 2009-2010 when I was 56. Back then I had chemotherapy, lumpectomy and radiation in that order. Was cancer free all those years. This past fall I noticed a discoloration on the skin at the lumpectomy site which…
+I have had breast cancer three times in the past 22 years. I have had both my breasts removed -and see my MO and BS twice a year at alternating times so I see one or the other every three months. I will see my BS next week. In Aug of 2024 my CA score was 40. I wasn't concerned and assumed it was my normal. In February it…
Hello I was diagnosed with breast cancer (Triple positive) in 2017, went through the whole gamut of treatment - masectomy, taxol / Herceptin and 5 years of tamoxifen. It was classified last stage 1 early stage. Two years after I stopped tamoxifen, I got diagnosed with breast cancer again. This time it's ER/PR positive but…
Hi all, In 2019 I was diagnosed ER/PR positive and Her2 negative and mastectomy done on right side. No chemo, no radiation I am 45 and this month I was diagnosed with ER/PR positive and Her2 negative on left breast. Dr suggested mastectomy, later they decide Chemo or radiation. I have been hearing more about removing Ovary…
I was on Arimidex (name brand anastrozole) for 8 years after my last breast cancer diagnosis. Even though I was taking the drug, I still got a new breast cancer - one that is ER+ (last cancer was triple positive). The cancer was tiny (5 mm) and was actually totally removed with the biopsy. I had a mastectomy and the cancer…
I'm so glad there's a group like this! Just got results from the patient portal - TN IDC stage 2 in my left just like I had 13 years ago in my right. The MRI I had in May was totally clean. As you can imagine I'm feeling all the feels. None of my providers has actually called to speak with me yet (in fairness the results…
How do they tell the difference between a new primary cancer and a recurrence of the old cancer. I had ILC in 2017, treated with lumpectomy and radiation. I stupidly refused antiestrogens because I thought I would be OK. They have now found another tumour in the other breast, but say it's ductal this time. Has anyone else…
