I have triple negative grade 3 1a breast cancer with no lymph node involvement and not been offered chemo-just lumpectomy and radiation?
I had my
lumpectomy
with clean margins and 20 rounds of radiation. It left my breast very misshapen but I felt luck it was caught early and I didn't need chemo. Now that I'm reading more on TNBC and find it is very rare to not have chemo for this very aggressive form of breast cancer.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer
I am waiting on gene studies to make a decision on
lumpectomy
vs mastectomy after chemo. What are others thoughts in surgery options?

Surgery after Radiotherapy
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but here goes...Following BC (
lumpectomy
) & radiotherapy in 2018. My breast has become very swollen, heavy & very uncomfortable, which gets worse as the day goes on. I’ve gone up 2 bras sizes now contemplating going up another 2 sizes.

Can anyone recommend a good breast surgeon in Los Angeles?
My niece was recently diagnosed with atypical lobular hyperplasia and a
lumpectomy
is recommended. We would greatly appreciate any referrals breast cancer surgeons in the LA area. Thanks so much!

Surgery next week!
So, basically Im scheduled to have a certain type of
lumpectomy
, can't remember the name. They are also going to do a sentinel lymph removal surgery and test for cancer. They are removing my left nipple and the arreola because that's where the cancer is.

How long between runs do you lose your stamina?
I had a
lumpectomy
and lymph nodes removed back in June and was back running within 3 weeks. At first I was just doing 20 min runs because while the stamina was still there I got a bit scuppered with stitch after 17 mins. I overcame that and was fine.

New cancer vaccine trial helped kill breast cancer cells in Mayo patient (October 10, 2019 news item)
She could go the traditional route of having a
lumpectomy
where the cancer cells are removed, a mastectomy where the breasts are removed, or she could join a clinical trial for a potentially life-saving vaccine that could prevent the cancer cells from coming back.

Anyone out there with recurrent non-metastatic breast cancer?
Had a
lumpectomy
, chemo (ACT) and 6 weeks of radiation. In March 2013, I found another lump in the same breast. Had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. In October 2013 found another lump in the same area! Had that lump removed.

Hoping for the best.
Just three years ago, I had small stage 1 cancer followed by
lumpectomy
and radiation. All was done so it would not return. About six months ago, it was back and crazy. I'm now taking Ibrance and Anastrozole. It has been difficult, but fortunately, I'm tolerating the medication quite well.

Coming off HRT symptoms
I've recently had a
lumpectomy
for early/pre breast cancer and have had to stop the very low dose HRT that I've been on for a number of years. My hot flushes and insomnia have been hard to deal with - does anyone know how long the symptoms last after finishing HRT? Thanks

Just started on letrozole
I’ve had a
lumpectomy
two weeks ago, no chemo will know if I’ve to have radiation when I see oncologist on 6/9, when I’ll hopefully get pathology results. I’ve started on letrozole on Friday so far no side effects but know it’s too early to tell.

Recall after 2nd annual mammogram
I had a
lumpectomy
for DCIS 2 years ago. This recall is the result of my second annual mammogram and is from the radiologist not the breast surgeon. I had 6 weeks of daily dressings after my
lumpectomy
as I had a large haematoma ( I'm on anticoagulants) which left a deep hole!
