First 4 cycles of AC/DC done. One step at the time makes me feel like a Winner.
Hi All, Hope everyone is doing great here and managing the side effects well. I completed my 4 cycles of the AC/Dc combo package and will start with the 12 cycles of weekly taxol from mid September.

Wondering if I should have decided on a mastectomy?
I am recovering well from my lumpectomy (ILC left breast; clear margins and all 4 nodes removed clear)10 days ago but am now worrying about radiation therapy (awaiting appts with medical oncologist and radiologist). I thought I was fine with my decision after discussing lumpectomy or mastectomy with my surgeon but am now…

Newly diagnosed with DCIS
My annual mammogram showed something that wasn't on my previous exam. A second, more in-depth mammogram still didn't clarify anything so a core biopsy was done. A bit of a stressful week waiting for the results, and unfortunately it shows malignant cells. Fortunately, it's small and should only require a lumpectomy…

This is my third breast cancer and I have had radiation on both sides, so my surgeon is recommending DIEP flap. It just sounds so brutal. If you have…

Treatment after surgery
Hi everyone, I have recently had two lots of surgery (first on 11/7) and second surgery on 29/7. I am finding the brain fog a bit of a challenge (which I have been told is due to having two surgeries close together), so can’t really think straight to correctly say the types, however had a different type in each breast. One…

My ALND was a bust..
Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. I discovered my lump in late May while breastfeeding my bub, and am now two weeks post surgery for hormone positive breast cancer. Not the clogged duct I had originally assumed it was. It’s been an awful shock, as I know everyone will understand. So, I have just had a lumpectomy,…

New to the Journey
Sad to be joining this journey with everyone, but staying positive 'is what it is' has become the new slogan in this house. Got an official TNBC dignosis mid december, was an incidental find. Had a mamagram and got called back to for a further look at 2 things, turns out those things were fine but found a BC lump which…
