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…

EXPERT Trial
Hi, New to this .... post Lumpectomy Stage 1/2 12mm, I have just been asked if I would consider joining the EXPERT trial. I can't see any recent posts since the thread from 2019.

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…

What would we do without BCNA?
I wish I had never heard of or joined this network, but now, when I need it, I am glad to be part of it. Every time I feel upset and vulnerable, I turn to the BCNA. I am just thinking about how people with breast cancer are supported without BCNA. I would definitely struggle. What about those who don't use computers or…

Swollen Parotid and possibly the Tonsillar gland
I felt sore on the right side of my face when I washed it last night and this morning it was a hard lump, some swelling and also sore at base of my ear...not like blown up but very tender and swollen...I did pop to a GP I've not seen before...he reassured me which was nice as I started to blubber as I'd panicked. He said…
