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

Possible preventative mastectomy
Hi, following treatment for stage 4 ovarian cancer I found out I have the BRCA1 gene. I was tested due to my age at diagnosis and family history of breast cancer. I’m now considering preventative double mastectomy with reconstruction. I’m due to see the surgical team on Friday to discuss my options.

After my last post, two respondents mentioned this site is meant for this with MBC. I had no idea! I thought it was a support network for all who have been diagnosed with all stages of BC. I am so very sorry if my "pity party" offended those who have it much worse than I. During this journey, I have

I was so scared of taking Paclitaxol chemo, but it has been ok.
Hello, I had a mastectomy in April this year with additional removal of 6 lymph nodes. One aggregate deposit of .5, so my surgeon sent me to an oncologist for “possible radiotherapy and hormone treatment.” I am Triple Negative grade 3 stage 3. You cannot imagine the shock when she laid out her plans

Radiation
My MBC is to the hip bone. Just wondering if others have had problems with healing radiation burns. I had 15 radiation treatments which finished on Oct. 9th. Now, 6 weeks later, though mostly healed, there are 2 or 3 open sores that just won't heal or they heal over and get opened again. I have large

Implant and reduction/lift surgery while on Ibrance
I have Mets to bones’ ER PR positive HER negative. My oncologist wants to keep me on Ibrance even though I’m having my implant exchange on the mastectomy side and a lift/ reduction on healthy breast to match. Has anyone stayed on Ibrance before, during and after surgery? I’m concerned with healing.
