Treatment after surgery
Hi everyone, I have recently had two lots of surgery (first on 11/7) and second surgery on 29/7.

Mastectomy for DCIS
Hello. I am 42 and have recently been diagnosed with DCIS and am having to decide between a lumpectomy (with likely radiation) and a mastectomy. The DCIS is 33mm long, and categorised as high grade.

Early Breast Cancer
Hi All, I was recalled for mammograms and they did biopsies and was diagnosed on 25th June (of which would have been my mothers birthday).

The waiting game...
Hi everyone, I'm currently on a bit of a waiting game so thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new to this club that none of us wanted to be a part of! I was diagnosed with "locally advanced multicentric left breast carcinoma" on my 46th birthday a couple of weeks ago. It was quite a shock as I'm super healthy and have zero…
