Hi @meow13,
Welcome back! 12 years NED is wonderful to hear and so many will be happy to hear this — thanks for coming back to share your good news.
As far as the typing issue, we're not sure what's going on with that as we don't see any problems on our end. If you have a moment, could you fill out this technical report form so we can check things out?
Thanks and looking forward to seeing you around the community once again!

Hi Meow! Sounds like we have similar chronology and original diagnoses/treatment, although my Mx & DIEP were on the right side. Unfortunately, I became metastatic 5 years ago.
With both IDC and ILC, was genetic counseling ever suggested to you?

No genetic counseling was not pushed but my oncodx number was 34 chemo was recommended but I didn't do it just took AI drugs. Sorry to about your Mets I am keeping my fingers crossed hoping I stay NED.

I also had 2 different type of BC found in the same breast after I demanded a mastectomy, when I was diagnosed with an excitional biopsy that also I demanded after 4 months with sharp pain and several specialists I saw refused any biopsy due to a negative mamogram, ultrasound, no family history.
The oncologist recommended no mastectomy because all cancer was removed, same with surgeon,I took a Dear Abby cut off from a newspaper where a woman with my symptoms was dying of non diagnosed breast cancer, my surgeon agreed ,my husband thought I was nuts to want a radical masectomy.
Had slowed drip dense chemo, for a year, twice a month .
I am 30 years survivor, my breast cancer was as a young mom and wife.
After I went back to university to work in the medical field.
We need to be our own advocate, get second opinion.
At the time there was very little research, thanks to National Breast Cancer Coalition, that lobby for funds we have more options.
I had twice removed benign cysts.
Be positive, avoid negative people.

Metastatic breast cancer. Triple positive. MY oncologist said he's never seen Hers go from negative in 2021 to positive in 2023. I'm in the middle of radiation. Three more to go. I start chemo 11/6.
