Finally diagnosed triple negative metaplastic bc
Hi, l'm fufan, and new to the site. In May I found a lump. By September, after two ultrasounds, a mammogram and a core biopsy, I was told it was probably nothing to worry about.

Lumpectomy or mastectomy?

Surgery Today
Good morning all, I was diagnosed with DCIS on 15th December. I had a lumpectomy on the 9/12 and the area is quite large and close to the nipple, so I am scheduled for bilateral mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy today. I wanted this cancer out so I made the decision quickly and want to be able to heal before even…

Overwhelmed by what I do not know..
I have been diagnosed late last year, by chance, during a routine check up. I am 36 and what was originally thought to be a 1cm cancer, apparently turned out to be a 8cm cancer with lymph nodes affected! 😒 I am having a mastectomy next week and then radiations and chemo (pretty scared about what to expect, but trying to…

Lymph node clearance
Hi, I was diagnosed in December and had lumpectomy and 2 lymph nodes removed just before Xmas. Results came back that they got all the breast lump out and the sentinel node was clear but the 2nd node was not which was a bit unusual apparently. Initially they said it would be chemo and radiation but after the team meeting…

Treatment decisions-Triple negative
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with triple negative, stage 3C breast cancer in October last year. Initially I had a lumpectomy with sentinel node removal. As there were no clear margins and cancer in the nodes I then had a mastectomy and nodal clearance. I had cancer in 14 out of the 31 nodes that were removed and locally…

I’m a new member to the group
Hi there, I’ve just joined the group. I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer at the end of November, I’m 40 years old & in good health & there is no family history. Thankfully I caught it early. As positive as I’ve tried to be about it all, I knew that this lump had felt different to the two previous benign lumps. I’ve…
