New lump found
hi I am new to the community, I have just spent the last 13 months undergoing bilateral mastectomy, chemo and radiation for DCIs, IDC and IMC. Yesterday I got news that a lump was detected on my left side and have opted for a biopsy to check if it’s sinister. I’m praying it’s scar tissue but…. I’m just wondering if anyone…

Lobular Breast Cancer really IS the 'sneaky one' .... a journalist & pathologist explains why
A pathologist explains & shows how Lobular 'presents' in the pathology slides ... Well worth a watch, to understand it a bit better. https://iview.abc.net.au/video/LABS2021103188542

Should less treatment be offered to 'older' women with BC? Over 70s ....
A bit disconcerting to read a report, released on Dec 6th 2023, that there may be talk of offering less treatment options to 'older women' (ie over 70s) when diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

How quickly can a tumour show up between scans?
If I had a PET/CT back in early July that was clear, surely it would be almost impossible that a lump I can feel in my BC breast would be a new tumour? I know there was a FA in the same area of breast back in 2021 and 2022 when I was diagnosed and had 12 month scans (latest one in 2022 showed it had gotten smaller). I’ve…

Flat chest scars - restrict movement or very tight? And did you have radio before going flat?
I'm in discussions with two surgeons (initial and then second
opinion) about removing my 10-year-old textured and radiated implants and
either going flat or replacing implants. I posed a similar question on the 'Flat Chat' group - I'm hoping this main chat has some more people who can share their experience on flat scars…

Have you replaced implants after radio? What's your experience/issues/advice +capsule (kept /rem'd)?
I'm in discussions with two surgeons (initial and then second opinion) about removing my 10-year-old textured and radiated implants and either going flat or replacing implants. I posed a similar question on the reconstruction group - I'm hoping this main chat has some people who have faced re-reconstruction. I was first…
