Finished with all surgeries, finally!!!
I was diagnosed with stage 2 infiltrating ductile carcinoma in September 2012 just a few weeks before my wedding. I was encouraged to go ahead with the wedding and the honey moon, so we shared vows on 10/15/2012 and I had my first lumpectomy on 10/25/11. I was advised to take an aggressive approach

Anastrozole
I’ve recently been diagnosed with lobular carcinoma and am having a double mastectomy on Thursday. Last week was my first visit with an Oncologist. I started taking anastrozole on Wednesday. Today I feel like I’m coming down with a cold. Is this a side effect from the medication? I don’t want the surgery

Bilateral mastoplexy
Hi there all you wonderful ladies (and some gents) Not posted for what seams like forever, but never a day goes by without me checking in and reading posts. Anyway, on Thursday, my birthday, I underwent an operation in preparation for a double mastectomy later this year. This is purely preventative

My Mastectomy Tattoos
Hi- Am getting chest tattoo w/ birds, butterflies, flowers. (My implants were removed, so I'm living flat now.) I want to add a saying as well. Which of these sound better? Thanks for your input! "My breasts do not define me as a woman." Or "My beauty is not defined by my breasts." -Seena

First Anniversary of diagnosis disappointment.
My GP refereed me to the hospital breast clinic in December 2016, after the routine mammogram, blood test, ultrasound and 3 biopsies were performed, I was given the great news just before Christmas 2016 that it was not cancer, but probably lymphedema or an infection of the breast. I was give an appointment
