Has anyone everyone gone through Oncoplastic surgery?
I've just completed my 6 sessions of chemo, and the MRI and scans show no tumors, or if there are any none are visible. I am still being told I will need surgery to remove any/all residual tissue that was the tumor. I was given 3 options: 1) lumpectomy 2) oncoplastic surgery 3) mastectomy. I would

8 years on!
I had grade 3 HER2 positive breast cancer in my left breast and had a mastectomy and chemo and herceptine and have been on tamoxifen for 8 years. I am suffering with pain in my bionic boob and very itchy red décolletage which nothing seems to soothe and scratching doesn’t get rid of the itch. Does anyone

Hi all, I am so lucky to have found this site. You have helped me a great deal since my MBC diagnosis in October. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 2009. I had a mastectomy on my right breast with clear margins and no lymph node invasion. I had 6 rounds of chemo but no radiation.

RECENT EPISODE on 24 January 2020
Though I had experience of knocking sensation before but last Friday's episode was really dreadful after my dinner. On sitting I felt a pressure on mid-chest area, it was something like I have been locked from inside and can get relief if I have some belching. Noted the BP which was high 180/70 HR 78

Questions..
Hey all just came back to work and university which has been helping me distract myself. Thank you all for the kind messages. Now I have a question. My mom was told she had multifocal invasive breast cancer, and they also told us it was a rare type. Oncologist says it is kind of random how she was checked

Reconstruction Expanders
In 10 days scheduled to have a mastectomy, lymph node, and expander put in. Is the expander very painful- have heard mixed things? I am very thin and small-breasted and putting a foreign object w/ a piece of metal under my chest muscle sounds horrible :( Thanks for any feedback

The Other Breast
Good morning Ladies, I’m in a bit of a “tizzy”. I had a right mastectomy in Oct because the cancer there was Her2 - and it was growing again after I stopped taxotere. I now have only 3 small her2+ places in my left lung that I’m about to have sbrt on one of them. I’ve been on herceptin and perjeta

How to Emotionally Prepare for Surgery

Surgery with an auto immune disorder
Good morning all Some issues have come to light in my family recently which mean I may be eligible for a BRCA ( it’s the gene mutation which increases the risk of breast cancer amongst others) test. It seems to me that the worst possible outcome would be to agree to the test, be tested positive but then
