For those managing a recurrence of a previous breast cancer or a new primary diagnosis.
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…
I had originally been diagnosed with ADH with papillary changes. Was told it was "uncommon and complex". Decided to go to MDA for second opinion. 1 month later they redo my MRI and find thr ADH area is 10 cm and diffuse, and second breast now has NME. Biopsy determines 10 cm is DCIS grade 3, ER/PR+/HER2- and other NME is…

Hi everyone, I have begun my second experience with chemotherapy yesterday. I had ER/PR positive breast cancer in 2005, underwent a lumpectomy with lymph dissection as the sentinel node was positive. I began Tamoxifen after chemotherapy and stayed on that regimen for five years. It was not awful, I could function, but the…

hi, my last breast cancer was in my left breast diagnosed in January 2015. I was diagnosed at my annual check as having a 1cm cancer in my right breast. I get the pathology results tomorrow. I had a partial mastectomy and lymph clearance last time. As well as chemo and radio. They are talking about a lumpectomy. But I want…
