Refusing Chemo
I am 63 and recently diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ducal carcinoma, hormone negative and HER2 positive. This is a more aggressive cancer but let’s face it, cancer is cancer. Going for a mastectomy in a couple weeks. They want me to have chemo along with herceptin and perjeta which kills off the her2

Hello, Has anyone had this type of mastectomy and immediate above the muscle reconstruction? I live in a small town in North Carolina and I am finding it hard to find a surgeon/patients who have had experience with this procedure. Thank you very much.

Hi I’m new 😁
Hi I’m 27 years old and was diagnosed with a high grade papillary carcinoma. I am a BrAc1 carrier also from my dads side. I had a double mastectomy in August and was told that was all I would need. However on removal of my breast tissue they found another lump at grade 3. I have now been told that that

Mastectomy scheduled
After the waiting period following scans and more biopsies I’m having a radical mastectomy on Monday . The consultant said the scan showed no spinal involvement but there are two separate types of tumour in the rt breast . As I’m a 38DD it will be very noticeable I guess , but that’s the least of the

Life is unfare
I had my mastectomy in late December 2016, had to spend 3 months in a nursing home because of various problems and they looked after me wonderfully. Then this year I had 2 melanomas on my skin which had to be lazered of. Then my husband died end of July and now I have 3 hospital appointments to attend

Hi everyone from NZ. I got lymphedema in my left arm 12 years ago following a double mastectomy post Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I have had cellulitis several times and my GP used to give me anti-biotics if I was going away. However my new GP won't - says see a Dr when overseas. Not always possible!

6 month check-up: feeling great, but whoops!
So, I have been wanting to post about my recovery after first line treatment for high grade serous Ovarian Cancer, but I thought I would wait for my sixth month check up. They only run a CA-125 blood test and talk to us, and only require a CT scan if your CA-125 climbs. I have been feeling better and
