I have completed 5 years on Tamoxifen and another five to do. I have recovered in many ways from the surgery and trauma but I still

Chemo?
I had a mastectomy last week and have another nerve wracking week to wait for results and treatment plan. I have felt healthy throughout and am very worried about the debilitating side effects if I need chemo or radiotherapy. What are the consequences of choosing not to have these therapies?

1 Year since I found a lump.
This time last year I found a lump at the age of 36. We had just moved house and area, and had 2 children age 2 and 6. Very soon I was told I had beat cancer. This was a huge shock. Mum had had it age 45 and now it had got me. I had 3 lymph nodes removed and it was in 1 and just starting to affect the

Please Tell me about Immunotherapy.
My Mother (56) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer of Stage 3. 11 out of 17 lymp nodes positive. ER and PR positive and Her2 negative. She underwent Mastectomy, Chemotherapy. Now her Radiotherapy will start in 2-3 days. Our oncologist told us that in third stage there are high chances of relapse in future

Surgery question
Hi all, I saw a specialist today and was given all of the options open to me for my surgery (left breast Mastectomy). So I can have an expander put in at the same time as surgery which gets inflated slowly over time. They will take skin and muscle from my back... And they will reduce the size of my
