Triple Negative diagnosis
I was given the news of triple negative breast cancer yesterday. My tumour was successfully removed with clear margins (1.1cm size tumor), however one lymph was affected (result of sentinel node biopsy). Going back to hospital next week for further axillary lymph surgery. It's been a hellish fortnight since my GP referred…

I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and within two weeks of been diagnosed I had it removed and was larger than what the scan showed. Also had two lympnodes removed.

Scared and confused
Hi my name is Helen. I was recently diagnosed with a Grade 2 lobular cancer on my left breast. Sentinel node biopsy confirmed 1 node was involved and tumour size was 12.7cms at time of surgery. So disappointed because neither scan, or ultrasound picked up the size. Just had double mastectomy and auxiliary clearance came…

Life is a Team Effort
Left mastectomy 13/3 with 1 sentinel node biopsy. Home now recovering. My biggest worry now is prognosis next week. 1 tumour was estrogen+'ve and progesterone+'ve. The other possibly benign. Through other recent health issues (reversed Type 2 Diabetes) I have become deeply distrustful of western medicine. Cycling through…

Looking at my options
Hi everyone, this is my first post, I was diagnosed last November, after I had noticed my nipple was inverting. If it hadn't been for that I would not have known anything was wrong as I had a clear mammogram the previous Dec. Unfortunately It was HER2 positive, and then the Pet scan showed it was in the lympth system and…

Breast cancer to remove 1 or 2
Hi I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and a booked in for a mastectomy on the 23rd March 2018. I would like both breasts removed at the same time. The surgeon doesn’t recommend it and says I should go back and have the other one off later. My feelings are that I would prefer to be operated on once not twice. I…

Recovery Post Lymph Node Removal
Hi everyone. I’m one week post op with mastectomy and auxiliary lymph node removal (16 were taken which I believe could be a lot???). My movement is slowly getting better everyday - I have a little puffiness under the armpit and my tricep area was quite numb and touchy but that is getting better unless I have a busy day…

The wait is frustrating and worrying. And so many questions!
Hello, I have been recently diagnosed and it has been a whirlwind of events. I had a lump on my left breast which I was confident was just a fibroadenoma but went to have it checked out anyway. The GP sent me off for a mammogram and ultrasound, then core biopsies of said lump. Whilst having the core biopsies the…

Such a scary learning curve
Hi all, i am just starting to through this process. 3 years ago I found a lump and went for an ultrasound, they found 4 and said they were just fibroadenomas so no further action required. Fast forward 3 years and these lumps had grown and they found a new one so recommended just testing 2 of them. Went and saw a surgeon…
