MBC to lungs
I was initially dx in 2005 PR/ER+ HER- I had no lymph node involvement, right breast mastectomy, 4 rounds of chemo & 32 radiation. 11 glorious years of remission. Developed a cough last June 2015 and asked 3 different doctors if it could be bc in my lungs. All 3 said probably not since I'd been in remission

Reconstructive surgery vs masectomy
I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in Feb 2016. I'm 52. I had a mastectomy, 6 chemo treatments followed by 16 radiation treatments. I finished everything Sept 16th. I'm recovering a little every day but my stamina is just not there and doesn't seem to be getting any better. I walk for 75 minutes

what a pain!
Has anyone else experienced really awful pain even years after surgery? I had a mastectomy, node clearance and then a reconstruction between 2012 and 2013

Need support
I am stage IV metastatic Breast Cancer. Double mastectomy. Currently on aromatase inhibitors and pain meds. The cancer has spread to my bones, primarily my spine where it has fractured my vertabrea. I am mostly bedfast because of the pain and so I don't break more bones. Looking for support.

Metastatic and moving forward
Hi, I am Denni. I am a 66 year old female metastatic breast cancer #lifer #thrivor. I currently reside in Angels Camp, CA. I was diagnosed in December of 1995 with Stage III cancer in my right breast. My mother died from breast cancer when I was 13 and she was 54, so I chose to have bilateral mastectomies

New journey. Feeling overwhelmed.
Hello all. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in October. I have had 2 partial mastectomys. Unfortunately pathology came back on both with positive margin. My specialist said that it is now recommended that I have a full mastectomy. This is the scariest thing to ever happen to me and I am

Mastectomy on avastin
Hi guys, I am brca 1 and have decided to have a bilateral mastectomy as prevention to ever getting breast cancer. I am on avastin only after my chemo for oc stage 3c. I have just read that while on avastin the healing process takes longer. It's made me wonder if they will go ahead with this operation

Metastatic Breast Cancer Survivor
I am new to this group. Here it goes. I had a lumpectomy and then 3 weeks later had a right mastectomy with no lymph node involvement in 1994. At that time I did have reconstruction, which was painful. At that time I thought I will be good if it doesn't go into my left breast. It never has although

Hi
Hi All, Diagnosed with late on set asthma at 60. Prior to this had been told my upper respiratory congestion was due to post nasal drip. But things got worse, climbing hills, any rapid change of pace etc. I am a survivor of breast cancer in my 40s, when I had lots of chemo and radio therapy to left side

I am a 20 year survivor of DCIS stage 0 (1996). I had a total radical mastectomy and 19 lymph nodes removed. I had a recurrence of breast cancer in March 2016 (8 mos. ago) and was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer with mets to the bones. My attitude is great and my prognosis is good.

Getting Naked with Strangers after a Mastectomy
Thanks for all of the positive feedback about the articles I've posted so far. Here's another, about how I was able to get naked with strangers again (in a Korean spa...one of my fave indulgences before breast cancer). The answer: with a little help from my friends. It was first published in Ravishly

My story of Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer
From a helpline peer: My journey started back in 2004, when I was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer. It had spread to 22 lymph nodes. I just couldn’t believe it because I was going annually for my mammogram. I had a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. And I was on hormone therapy for about

Going Flat: Whether To Reconstruct or Not
Some women are choosing to defy medical advice and social convention after mastectomies, saying they would rather live without breasts than undergo more surgery. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/well/live/going-flat-after-breast-cancer.html?smid=nytcore-ipad-share&smprod=nytcore-ipad
