Back to work 😔
Morning all, I cannot understand what's going on with me at the moment? I had decided to return to work today and all weekend I have been so down at the thought of it and finally last night I chickened out and told them I wasn't feeling well. I feel SO guilty and I know I have to go back 😢. I was diagnosed

Life without a stomach
Today it's six and a half years since I had a total
Gastrectomy
. Though I've lead a healthy life; non smoker, non drinker and been actively fit all my life, to learn I had cancer came as no surprise.

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

Moving up the stages
Hi everyone! I'm 8 days post double mastectomy and the pathology came through positive for my lymph nodes, possibly requiring another surgery, chemo and now a Stage 2b diagnosis... I'm due to go to the doctor on Monday but feel as though the goal posts have moved because the surgeon claimed that optically

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

Tips for newly diagnosed
Hi everyone! I am new to this site and looking to gather information from those of you who are going through all that is involved with breast cancer. I was diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in December 2016 and waiting on my second surgery. The first surgery did not get all of the cancer and found it

Post-Treatment - Depression
I was wondering if others had experience after completing treatment for breast cancer with feeling depressed. I had bilateral mastectomies and rather than feeling glad and relieved that am done with my surgeries and my scars have been healing nicely (no reconstruction yet; still deciding); I am finding

So lost
As a newlywed and in the process of trying to cope with the loss of my breasts from recent double mastectomy and with tissue expanders currently , I feel less of a woman and so afraid I will lose my husband. I love him so much and I have felt like he doesn't want to touch me, even kiss me because he's

Can't shake the fear
My surgery was Jan 19th. I still have aches and pains that freak me out. I have gotten a rotten cold, sore throat and off and on fever. My veins are breaking down and some chemo weeks its sheer trauma getting the IV in. (My dr doesn't want me having a port). I'm dreading chemo tomorrow since I am

It's back... ugh...I'm in the 6%
In 2003 I was diagnosed with DCIS in left breast when I was 44 ( pre-menopausal). I had a lumpectomy followed by 6 weeks of radiation therapy. No chemo. Attempted Tamoxifen, but I was allergic to it and since I was pre-menopause there was not an alternative. In 2011, I was diagnosed with ADH in my right

"My relationship got stronger after breast cancer"
Breast cancer survivors know better than anyone that life shifts into two distinct parts: before and after. You change and so do your relationships, in and out of bed. How could they not? It’s been said that after a cancer diagnosis, strong relationships become stronger while weak ones become weaker

Stage 0 DCIS Double Mastectomy
I am going in for surgery in March for a double mastectomy (one by choice). I will have the tissue expanders and then proceed in time with the reconstruction to have the implants put in. How bad is this whole procedure? I am so nervous about the pain afterwards. I have two small kids and its killing
