never adjusted
I had a mastectomy three years ago and I've never gotten over this deep seated shock as to how it looks. Don't bother writing if all you can think to say is I'm lucky the cancer is gone.

mastectomy
Well my surgery went well,Only problem was as I expected low oxygen levels after the anesthetic. so glad I opted for Mastectomy-would never have coped with further operations and up to 18 months of treatment if I had opted for reconstruction..Only appts now are with a district nurse to check dressings

Breast cancer - mastectomy or not
Hi allI was diagnosed with Stage 4a high grade serous OC in September 2022 and I've just had my last post-surgery chemo (for the time being at least)😊. I'm BRCA2 and aged 60 and the hospital genetics team have been telling me about the risk of getting breast cancer (as if ovarian cancer wasn't enough

off Pramipexole
It took me 6 months to come off Pramipexole very slowly! Breast cancer interrupted things and I paused my reduction programme whilst I had a mastectomy. After surgery I had some respite from my restless legs as my ferretin levels increased which is normal after surgery. They are dropping back now.

Hurts breathing in on left side/lung...
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone might have experienced this or some thoughts. Sorry this is so long a post. This morning I woke up and my left lung/back/shoulder hurt, much more so with breathing in. I thought it might be I'd slept oddly and/or my arthritis as other parts of me ached and back and spine

why do some MBC get mastectomies?
Hi All, Why do some MBC’ers get a mastectomy ? Even some that are not Oglio’s? Do you think there is a benefit? I know they say there isn’t but I’m seeing those who had it done seem to have longevity. If you had a mastectomy how long have you had MBC? If you have not please share your thoughts and

Burning pain to side of scapular post several breast ops - anyone have this too?
Dear all Hope you are doing as well as can be. I am really struggling with very bad, deep burning in the area of my upper left back, in-between the shoulder blade and my spine and wondered if anyone else has had this issue post surgery/ies? I have a lot of lumps and spasmed areas anyway, all over

Hey Y'all
Just stumbled across this site. I'm a MBC Thriver!! In July 2017 it was confirmed that I in fact had HR+ HER2- BC after years of mammograms and ultrasounds. I always knew it was cancer that was causing my issues. At 39 most OB/GYN play it off as hormone changes. What was the final straw was I lost my

CA 27.29 Blood Testing
Hi All, It's been about 3 years(2020) since I was diagnosed with HER2 + breast cancer. I had undergone a double mastectomy and a full year of chemo. During my twice a year check-ups (every 6 months) I was always given a Cancer Antigen( CA 27.29) blood test, but with this visit this test was not done

Hi ….from a newly dx’d comrade from the UK
I’m 56 and I’ve recently been dx’d with lobular ER+ breast cancer (2cm), go back to see consultant on Monday for MRI results. I have a lumpectomy & sentinel lymph node removal scheduled for the 28th March. Drs Initial plan was for removal, tamoxifen & chemo….but that may have changed since MRI

Starting Xeloda soon
I am a rare case for Johns Hopkins. Dx de novo ER/Pr +, Her2 - almost 8 years ago. Two very tiny liver mets only. Did extremely well and achieved NED status on Ibrance and AI for 6.5 years when we noticed the primary site of cancer in the breast was growing. Switched to Faslodex and Fulvestrant.

Rant! Rant! Rant!
It’s hard to talk about cancer because there are so many things people do differently in treatment, so many choices we make. I don’t get offended much but someone said something today that kind of hit me the wrong way. I never understood why stage iv cancer patients were offended by those who didn’t

Well, so much for feeling normal....
Some of you may have read my long story on the Enhertu infusion. I have it in my lungs, spine and then it spread to my liver and the next treatment (Xeloda, I think) and after three months still progression. If you have the time, grab a cup of coffee and read. OR, if you are having trouble sleeping

Taking collagen
Is collagen worth taking? I have been diagnosed with osteopenia and am taking Risedronate. I am also taking Anastrozole after having a mastectomy . I take vitD and K , my diet is good and I walk every day. Just wondering if there’s anything else I can do to improve my bone health. Thanks.

Former art teacher with a passion for travel
Former art teacher. I started traveling in my fifties and it became my passion (I’ve visited 41 countries so far!) until Covid and then my stage 4 diagnosis came. Diagnosed with IDC stage 3 in 2015. My great-grandmother had breast cancer in the 1920s, and an aunt had it when she was in her mid-eighties

COPD and Radiation for Breast Cancer
I am trying to find information on the potential effects on my existing COPD if I have radiation therapy for breast cancer. I am being treated at a top cancer center in the US and they definitely promote lumpectomy plus radiation over mastectomy. I am almost 70 years old and a widow, and I really don't
