COPD and Radiation 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 care if I lose my breasts. If I have the lumpectomy, I must have radiation.

Lumpectomy and CKD with eGFR 23%

I am due to have a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removal using radioactive dye. My eGFR is only 23%. After the operation I am due to have radiation therapy. Has anyone else had this done and do you know if the radiation or dye will lower my eGFR of 23%.

Anyone any experience of PMR,and radiotherapy for breast cancer

Hi, Following diagnosis of PMR in February 2022, I now require radiotherapy after lumpectomy for lobular cancer. I am especially interested in the level of fatigue experienced during radiotherapy. Thanks Jane

Need Support

When the call came that I have breast cancer for the third time, I was adamant that I wouldn't undergo a mastectomy - unfortunately, the onc surgeon does not think she can do a lumpectomy because of a previous lumpectomy and the difficulty of providing a blood supply to the remaining tissue.

Recurrent DCIS

Hi all I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy about eight years ago to deal with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) it has now recurred, what an absolute pain. I’ve had a mammogram and ultrasound and the radiologist thinks I will need surgery. I won’t know for sure until next Wednesday.

Overwhelmed

Four years ago, when I was eighty-one, |Following the advice of the oncologist, I had six sessions of radiotherapy in weekly doses after a lumpectomy but was considered too old for chemo.

New here! Most menopausal oophorectomy?

I'm 5 years post lumpectomy for triple negative breast cancer at 46. Was tested and found to be BRCA2 carrier, though no history of cancer in my family. Preventative ovary removal was suggested, but I wanted to avoid surgical menopause so opted to postpone that.

Fluctuating CA 15-3 tumor marker

Lumpectomy, no rads/ chemo. Oncotype test showed low % recurrence. Feel great. Oncologist wants PET/CT due to increase in markers. Mine seemed to go up and down. Also my alka phosphatase level up to 175. Read Anastrozole could be culprit. Extremely high anxiety til scan done on Wednesday.

Newbie on the site - Breast Cancer IDC & HER2

I had the lumpectomy and node biopsy late January and had my first weekly chemo last week (Taxol weekly + Herceptin every 3 weeks). Is anyone else on the same treatment plan? I’m curious if you found that side effects worsened with each treatment?

Radiation and CLL?

I had my second lumpectomy last Friday. Had a reoccurrence after two years. Drs said I now need radiation to my left breast. They removed two more lymph nodes and they were clear for breast cancer but still showed up the CLL. I’m on W&W. Does this mean all lymph nodes if tested would show CLL?

Early Stage or In Situ and MBC recurrence

I opened for a Mastectomy and reconstruction as my dr said recurrence rate is less than 2 % as opposed to lumpectomy with radiation and approximately 13% recurrence. Seemed like a no brainer to me at 59. They found clusters of cancer cells in one lymph node.

Is discharge from breast something to be concerned about?

I do not have breast cancer, but I'm high risk due to family history and I had a lumpectomy last year due to ADH. I'm about to turn 60 and a few weeks ago, I started noticing a small amount of clear discharge from my left breast only.

Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy treatment affecting my lungs.

I had Chemo, lumpectomy and radiotherapy. My lungs have been damaged a lot after my cancer treatment. I started experiencing shortness of breath a month after radiotherapy and it got worse over a few months. Now I am diagnosed with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis and Bronchiolitis.
