Not able to have chemo!!
Hi ladies had a mastectomy early Jan followed by total lymph node clearance, was due to start chemo and on actual day of chemo appointment at chemo clinic was told that scan had showed two very small spots on my left hip. As a result I won't be having chemo or radiotherapy but start Letrozole as a treatment

My mother has had her chemo, surgery and radiation completed. Her one breast is removed, so we are searching for mastectomy bras for her. Are these available online? If so, please tell from which site?And is it safe to wear them?

Surviving Metastatic Cancer.
I was BC survivor for 16 years. Invasive ductal carcinoma. Had lumpectomy and 28 radiations and 5 years with tamoxifen/arimidex. Last year cancer came back as Metastatic BC. Had 16 chemotherapy treatments, four surgeries included mastectomy. I was also told that I have lupus. My Journey ended one

Hi, I was diagnosed in late December with TNBC, I was given the choice of a lumpectomy or mastectomy of my right breast. Given lower risk of reccurance I chose mastectomy. I had the surgery on march 1st and out of three lymph nodes removed only one had a spot on it, I do not have to have radiation.

Survivor
I'm Janet. I had breast cancer followed by a mastectomy back in '96. I have a strong family history of cancer, but I feel seeing my grandmother and mother go through the diagnosis and surgeries made me stronger and helped me deal with my own process. I hope I can help someone else, now.

lymph node removal - would love some advice
I was diagnosed with stage 3, grade 3 breast cancer following a mastectomy in August 2016 and had sentinel lymph node removal. Two were found to be positive. I have just finished chemotherapy and am due to have the rest of my lymph nodes removed (intermediate stage they call it) in two weeks time. Whereas

Triple negative inflammatory breast cancer.
I have just joined this forum and like what I see in the community, so I thought I might introduce myself. I am 57 and have recently been diagnosed with IBC Triple negative. My journey started in December 2016 when I was referred by my GP to the local hospital cancer suite. They performed the usual test

Breast cancer expander problems.
I was interested in hearing from anyone who has had problems with breast cancer expanders. Or people that have not had problems with expanders. Just your experience with them. I had my expanders put in at the same time as the bilateral mastectomy. I just had the right expander removed because
