My cancer journey
Eight years ago I had a pain in the left breast which seemed to be inflamed. I thought it would settle but then wondered if the inflammation was because of a blockage somewhere - so off to see the doc who confirmed inflammation and gave me antibiotics. As I was leaving his room he said “I think I

I'm a Newbie and a Breast Cancer Survivor 😊
Hi everybody! I am a firm believer in the power of peer groups and I am sooo happy I found you! I was just diagnosed in late April and had a modified radical mastectomy (aka double mastectomy) May 25th of this year. With an absolute belief in faith and with the grace God, I think I've sailed through

Well there was a time early on when I wondered if I’d make it this far. I was diagnosed 3a in 2017 aged 47. It was in one ovary and lymph nodes. Had the full debulking op and chemo. I’ve had great treatment down here in Kent and have nothing but praise for my Onc Dr W who has put up with my endless

Recent diagnosis
Hi, in February I had a pain in my breast after exercising, on self examination i found a large lump.

Bone Scan advice
Hello all, just a quick query . I've been on pred since the beginning of March , currently 12.5mg. I'm on Alendronic Acid too. I have been on Letrozole since my Mastectomy in June 2019. I had a bone scan then which is standard when starting something like Letrozole as it increases osteoporosis risk.

Spreading Cancer (Or Just Waking It Up)
If you look at any collection of "common myths about cancer", you will probably find reassurances about the idea that having cancer surgery might cause the cancer to spread to other parts of the body. I remember coming across this one some years ago being surprised - I'd never heard that one myself,

Diagnosed with BC when I was 46, bi lat mastectomy, chemo and tamoxifen. Mets to spine this year after 25 years cancer free. On letrozole and finished radiation. Trying to decide if I really want to take verzenio now or wait a while. The side effects look awful.. I suppose we all debate quality of life

Faslodex/Fulvestrant update
For those being offered or starting this protocol - here’s an update. I know when I joined this group - it meant a lot to get information and experiences. Faslodex is my second line treatment- after Ibrance, Femara & zoladex. I’ve been feeling well on Faslodex - still going about my daily routine and

Early Stage or In Situ and MBC recurrence
I was diagnosed in situ 7 years ago. I opened for a Mastectomy and reconstruction as my dr said recurrence rate is less than 2 % as opposed to lumpectomy with radiation and approximately 13% recurrence. Seemed like a no brainer to me at 59. They found clusters of cancer cells in one lymph node. Removed

Having surgery in a few weeks and worried about how I will look after reconstruction.

Fatigue with PMR
I've recently been diagnosed with PMR. Steroids are working well , 15mg daily but I am exhausted. My consultant said it is likely to be the PMR, has anyone else experienced this and will it settle? I had a Mastectomy and reconstruction in June 2019 and occasionally get fatigue days as a result. This

Oedema & fungating cancer
My good friend had a mastectomy a few years ago, she’s now got secondary fungating cancer & having the dressings changed daily by district nurses. They are very kind but don’t have experience of dressing this cancer. Now she has oedema in her hands & legs & getting conflicting advice on whether to put

Breast cancer and Radiotherapy
I have Lupus/Sjogrens and unfortunately have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy first in order to try and reduce the tumour in order that the operation will be less invasive. After my second MRI I was given the great news that the tumour had reduced by 50%. However
