Breast cancer expander problems.
I was interested in hearing from anyone who has had problems with breast cancer expanders. Or people that have not had problems with expanders. Just your experience with them. I had my expanders put in at the same time as the bilateral mastectomy. I just had the right expander removed because

Tips for newly diagnosed
Hi everyone! I am new to this site and looking to gather information from those of you who are going through all that is involved with breast cancer. I was diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in December 2016 and waiting on my second surgery. The first surgery did not get all of the cancer and found it

Post-Treatment - Depression
I was wondering if others had experience after completing treatment for breast cancer with feeling depressed. I had bilateral mastectomies and rather than feeling glad and relieved that am done with my surgeries and my scars have been healing nicely (no reconstruction yet; still deciding); I am finding

So lost
As a newlywed and in the process of trying to cope with the loss of my breasts from recent double mastectomy and with tissue expanders currently , I feel less of a woman and so afraid I will lose my husband. I love him so much and I have felt like he doesn't want to touch me, even kiss me because he's

Can't shake the fear

It's back... ugh...I'm in the 6%
In 2003 I was diagnosed with DCIS in left breast when I was 44 ( pre-menopausal). I had a lumpectomy followed by 6 weeks of radiation therapy. No chemo. Attempted Tamoxifen, but I was allergic to it and since I was pre-menopause there was not an alternative. In 2011, I was diagnosed with ADH in my right

Waiting on laparoscopy
Hi I'm new to this forum and new to the discovery of endometriosis. My story goes like this (sorry it's quite long). I have always had painful periods from I first took my period at 12 years old. I would have bad cramping and pain in my lower back and down my legs while at school I would regularly take

"My relationship got stronger after breast cancer"
Breast cancer survivors know better than anyone that life shifts into two distinct parts: before and after. You change and so do your relationships, in and out of bed. How could they not? It’s been said that after a cancer diagnosis, strong relationships become stronger while weak ones become weaker

Stage 0 DCIS Double Mastectomy
I am going in for surgery in March for a double mastectomy (one by choice). I will have the tissue expanders and then proceed in time with the reconstruction to have the implants put in. How bad is this whole procedure? I am so nervous about the pain afterwards. I have two small kids and its killing

First time looking at incision site after surgery
Good morning everyone. Had my mastectomy in Tuesday. Am nervous about seeing site for first time. Any suggestions on how to deal with it? I know I have to put my "big girl panties" on and deal with it. It just helps to hear from other who have been through this before me. Thank you!

Double mastectomy in 6 days
I'm finding a lot of extra steps I'm having to do that I'm being told last minute. The dye injection- does that hurt? Why wasn't I told about it before? Will I need to know anything else? Do I need to do anything else?
