Whirlwind of everything
I noticed a lump in my right breast around the 27/4/23. I wasn’t sure and therefore not overly worried. I went to my GP on the 13/5 and had a mammogram and ultrasound done on the 17/5. A few hours after being home my GP rang and said the radiologist had contacted her, it’s cancer! My world started spinning out of control…

Any info on lobular cancer in situ (LCIS) found in margins after lumpectomy
Hi, I had a lumpectomy, radiation and now on anastrozol for early grade 1 stage 2 mixed lobular and ductal breast cancer. In the margins, there were small foci of lobular cancer in situ (LCIS) - this increases your risk of breast cancer and I’m wondering whether to have a mastectomy to avoid recurrence. Has anyone had…

After lumpectomy
Hi. I am newly diagnosed and had a lumpectomy and nodes removed 12 days ago. I am wondering how long it takes for the breast swelling and underarm pain to subside. I realise everyone is different just looking for a rough idea. I guess the whole diagnosis is still sinking in. Have a wonderful weekend. Oh and is there a skin…

Cancer %
I'd love to know if there is a big increase in breast cancer and other cancers since 2019. I'm hearing of so many and from strangers on the phone in my job and personally from all different age groups.
