Still on the roller coaster.
Having done more tests on the biopsy sample they found I also have another type of cancer - one which won't respond to Tamoxifen so now I'll be having a
lumpectomy
on the 9th Sept, followed by a different tablet treatment, then later - once the scars have healed there'll be three weeks of daily radiotherapy

Your thoughts - treatment plan
Unfortunately, in parallel, my wife will be undergoing a full mastectomy in one breast for DCIS (too much there to do a
lumpectomy
). Thankfully she tested negative for BRACA mutation so additional surgery is not under consideration. But we were diagnosed within days of each other.

Life's ups and downs
After four to six months, depending on how the lump responds I'll have either a
lumpectomy
or a mastectomy. So, fingers crossed! At the same time as all of this my house buyer has got cold feet so 'maybe' I've sold the house, and maybe not.

I have been given the option of
lumpectomy
with radiation and mastectomy. Both I need hormone therapy. I am pre menopausal. How did those in this same situation decide? How did you handle to anxiety of not knowing or wondering about it coming back? Any input is greatly appreciated!!!

Radiotherapy
Hi had a
lumpectomy
yesterday, the surgeon said I was borderline for radiotherapy. Please can you cross your fingers that I don’t need it. 💐🤞

Lumpectomy v therapeutic mammoplasty TNBC
Surgeon at 1st mentioned
lumpectomy
but also discussed therapeutic mammoplasty ... which he seemed to be more towards following my ultrasound. Seems that he can get bigger margins from the mammoplasty ?? And due to not shrinking completely may be better for some reconstruction.

Her2 positive .... Her2 negative?
I had a
lumpectomy
radiation and chemo and on letrozole. The second time it was on the other breast was her2 negative treated with a
lumpectomy
radiation and tamoxifen. Mets a couple years later. They preformed a biopsy on my spine and found out it was her2 negative.

Can anyone explain my diagnosis of Stage 1a grade 3 Comedo Necron hormone receptor negative (its the negative I don't get) Breast Cancer?
After
lumpectomy
and radiation no other treatments will help because of the negative part. Why is that?

A
lumpectomy
and 21 rounds of radiation (so it wouldn't come back). I was done, put it behind me and moved on. In March, while bathing, I noticed several lumps in a cluster along the scar line. Startled, I made and appointment. Biopsy done.

Tamoxifen
I have done chemo and had a
lumpectomy
. I am getting a consultation regarding radiation but my oncologist put me on Tamoxifen. Can anyone give me some insight or opinion on what to expect? I am a little nervous and skeptical on taking it.

Tests Not Picking Up Lump
I had a
lumpectomy
and 4 weeks of radiation. I currently take Anastrozole everyday. Four weeks ago I felt another lump in my left breast.

How do I know
I went through a
lumpectomy
followed by mastectomy, 6 months of chemo, 6 weeks of radiation and 5 years of Letrozole. It’s a 200-mile round trip for treatment. In 2017 I lost my Medicaid coverage. I now have insurance through my work, but my deductible is $5,000 and $500 a month in premiums.

Struggling
My husband keeps saying it’s too radical bc I’m on the meds and will continue to be so why not have a
lumpectomy
. I don’t want the cancer to come back in my breast.
