Treatments
Hello everyone, I have just joined this forum. I am 67 years old and I was diagnosed with Stage 3 19mm TNBC late November 2017. I had a lumpectomy and 3 sentinel nodes removed. Two out of three had cancer deposits so I then had an ancillary clearance where another two out of 22 nodes had small deposits of cancer. I am…

DCIS undetected by mammogram
Hi everyone thanks for providing such an amazing support network. I’ve spent a few days looking through the posts to try and make sense of what is going to happen to me over the next few months/years. I’m freaking out a bit to be honest. A couple of weeks before Christmas I went for my annual mammogram and a grade 1…

Feeling very confused on treatment
Hi all. Have been diagnosed two weeks ago. Booked in for surgery on the 16th jan for double mastectomy but very unsure if to have reconstruction or not. This is obviously depending on the results as well and if it has travelled to other areas or still in the breast area. I have organised for pet scan this week not through…

Questions to ask / unknown
I just turned 50 and had my first routine mammogram . I got a call back they'd noticed a cluster of microcalcifications. Had more mammograms and ultrasound and they decided to do a vacuum assisted core biopsy (at the public breast clinic) during a 5hr appointment. I apparently have very dense breast. Nine days latter I…

Clipped my wings
What a whirlwind! Mammogram on Monday. Biopsy Friday and surgery next Tuesday. This is me https://www.shewentwild.com/blogposts/2017/12/1/life-and-adventure-on-a-postie-bike Nothing like cancer to interrupt one's plans. I've survived an aneurysm so I'm well acquainted with the medical system. I can deal with the emotional…

Not the midlife crisis I was planning on...
A few months ago I realised that my 40th birthday was looming and becoming harder to ignore. Mild panic started setting in - what have I done with my life? I'm running out of time to have a second child, I need to find a career I love, I need to bite the bullet and buy the acreage of rolling hills and start the farm I…

Disappointed and confused by the system
I should start by saying I am almost 73 and have had a lifetime of excellent health (apart from hysterectomy a couple of years ago) and never expected to be dealing with this. Mammograms stopped a few years ago, as is recommended. Never had a problem, apart from a few cysts which had to be drained. But after some odd…
