Double Mastectomy with reconstruction using tissue expanders
Hello, I am writing on behalf of my 43 year old daughter, who is scheduled to have risk reduction surgery next month. Her aunt, myself and my daughter are BRCA1 positive. I have been battling Ovarian Cancer for the past two years, while my sister had been battling triple negative breast cancer with her

I have triple negative grade 3 1a breast cancer with no lymph node involvement and not been offered chemo-just lumpectomy and radiation?
I was told my tumor was very small. So small it couldn't even be genetically tested. I had my lumpectomy with clean margins and 20 rounds of radiation. It left my breast very misshapen but I felt luck it was caught early and I didn't need chemo. Now that I'm reading more on TNBC and find it is very rare

Chronic pain following Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer surgery, chemo and radiation
Is this normal? I'm new here and asking for my closest friend. Lymph nodes were removed and pain is underarm and continuous since lumpectomy. Oncologist prescribed antibiotic for recent breast infection but did no tests and said nothing can be done to relieve the continuous pain which has been ongoing

Incline question - surprised myself!

However done this all on a treadmill and only just seen the advice on putting an incline of 1-2% on to replicate outdoors (never

Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Hello, I am 48, I have MS and I was recently diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast cancer, grade 3, with lymph node involved. I have just finished with 2/4 AC with 12 weeks of taxol after. I am waiting on gene studies to make a decision on lumpectomy vs mastectomy after chemo. What are others thoughts

Update
Dear All. As promised an update on my precarious position. After the shock and trauma following my oncologist meeting three weeks ago, where he told me that carbo/caelyx hadn’t worked for me (1st recurrence), that I was platinum resistant and there wasn’t much hope left, I went nervously to the meeting
