preventative mastectomy
Good afternoon, Not been on here for a while , I was wondering if anyone here with the BRCA gene has had a preventative
mastectomy
, if so how was your experience? Did you have any regrets? We’re you happy with the surgery? What type ,if any reconstruction did you have?

Diep Flap Procedure Question
Hi, I'm a breast cancer survivor and I had a double
mastectomy
. It is planned that I'm going to have the Diep flap procedure and I was wondering if anyone could advise me on how weight gain and loss affect the body after this procedure? Thanks

Flummoxed and in a Pickle 🙃🙂
I have triple negative Inflammatory beast cancer and nearing completion of about a year and a half of chemo with a
mastectomy
and axillary clearance and good margins. Thankfully I've responded well to treatment but unfortunately chemo just didn't quite eliminate the thing.

Hi! I'm new and excited to meet others and learn about your journey
Had a
mastectomy
. Went on tamoxifen for 2 years, then quit because it made me feel miserable. No chemo. In 2022, I was once again diagnosed with breast cancer, but this time metastatic. What a shock! It spread to my lymph nodes and lungs.

Invasive Breast Cancer her 2 P+ E+1 lymph node Metastatic spread after chemo & Mastectomy
I was just wondering in the letter i received after the
mastectomy
it’s saying Metastatic spread to the lymph node. The word Metastatic is scaring me . Can you share your stories or put my mind at ease. Does this mean the other lymph nodes will have cancer?

Introduction
In 2004 I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, I had a
mastectomy
& started a 6 month course of chemotherapy. Three months into chemo I developed septicemia & spent 12 days in ICU followed by 3 months on the cancer ward receiving intensive physiotherapy.

Kisqali added to Letrazole
Had a double
mastectomy
on 5/2023 and radiation. Onco and mammaprint said “no chemo benefit”. 26 lymph nodes taken out and 2 positive. Now oncologist wants to add Kisqali to my treatment regimen even though I am “cancer free”. I am sure it is due to the size of my tumor and lymph node involvement.

Recent diagnosis questions & concerns, please respond to any that you can
Concern 6: I hear of patients with a family history of breast cancer having
mastectomy
without a cancer diagnosis… should I, with a prostate cancer diagnosis, pursue state-of-the-art nerve-sparing robotic radical prostatectomy?

Mastectomies
She has had three oncologists dealing with her case thus far and they were of the opinion that she should have a double
mastectomy
in view of her BRCA status.

Verzenio Monotherapy
I had a
mastectomy
and have done chemo , radiation, aromasin ,arimidex, ibrance( which actually worked well for 5 years !!), faslodex,tamoxifen and xeloda to name a few. This Verzenio is my latest. The side effects have been rough but I'm sticking with it in hopes of getting even more time.

Thank you for all the support and bye for now
I even asked to be added to the list for breast scanning as I needed to know I wouldn’t be facing double
mastectomy
too.

Still here & BRCA elective Mastectomy
Hi all!
