Bad anxiety
Hi I was diagnosed in Dec 16.coped with surgery-small lump removed not spread to lymph nodes. Had radio and now on letrozole. No probs with anything but the letrozole has made me very anxious! People tell me I'm lucky as no mastectomy or chemo, and on the face of it I'm much better off than others. I

Preparing for the Most Unexpected Body Change After Breast Cancer
After breast cancer surgery, many women are caught off guard by a lack of sensation in their breast(s) and other affected areas. They have a lumpectomy, mastectomy or reconstruction and ask: “Am I ever going to get any feeling back… in my armpit? …over the scar? …on the inside of my arm?” They might

What have you learned and shared from your experience?
Hi! My name is Tina. I had bilateral mastectomies in 2009. I learned a lot from my experience. A big challenge for me was managing my JP drains, especially in the shower. One thing I do now is to make and sell drain belt kits. I also gift them to others. During recovery, A friend would come over and

Invasive Aspergilius Fumigata and breast expander .. and microwaveable heat pack
In February 2012 I was unfortunate enough to get Breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy .. I had a brilliant surgeon who inserted an expander to expand my skin to accommodate a silicon implant at a later date ... everything was going well and my implant was scheduled for late Sept

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.
