Anyone with this subtype of Breast Cancer ? IMPC
Hi, iam new to this group. i was diagnosed with Invasive Micropapillary Carcinoma stage 3 grade 2 breast cancer. Iam PR+ ER+ and HER 2 -( diagnosis back in June). It is extremely hard to find anyone...
Thankyou so much, for taking the time to reply with all this valuable information !! I have already undergone a bilateral masectomy/( chose flat closure)& lymph node dissection ect. Next week will be my final AC infusion, i have every 2 weeks. Then onto 12 weekly paclitaxel chemo and then 25 radiation sessions & tomoxifen. And yes chemo brain is real !!! Im also now in menopause with chemo, which before all of this, i was on the verge of it anyway. To be honest im quite delighted about the menopause part of it personally. Thankyou again, a wonderful help. My breast care nurse actually recommended bcna .
You've been thru (and still going thru) a lot already ks-51 .... I hope you have a good support network & are recovering well xx In a funny way, it is good that your menopause has come on 'quickly' instead of over 3-5 years (which happened to me, then lasted another 15!) .... Good Ol' Menopause (NOT!) .... If you have an issue with Hot Flushes, there are a few hot flush remedy suggestions in the threads that may help if you find them too nasty ....
You can put 'reference words' in the 'search area' to bring up previous threads (click on 'newest' so you don't get swamped with really old posts first!)

Chemo is never fun (I didn't personally 'do it' but cared for my husband, who did) .. if you have any queries re any side effects, whack them up & members will jump on & help with an suggestions/answers xx
BCNA also has a 'flat chat' private group (those who choose not to have reconstruction) - you could join that group & do a write up of your experience (even add before & after pics if you are up to it) or put up any questions you may have as well re flat closure. I hope you are happy with the result. xx
