So yep, newly diagnosed...46 years old, no kids and I took the pill for 10+ years...no doubt all contributing factors. Ended up with grade 2 DCIS with small invasive component, detected on routine screening thanks to a strong family history (mum and both grandmothers, plus a few other relatives) and several previous benign fibroadenomas. Lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy and now about to commence 5 weeks of radiation therapy and then Tamoxifen, neither of which I want to do. Am also right in the throes of perimenopause and the periods from hell, because it's not shit enough to have breast cancer, the downstairs situation also has to mess with me. Of course there is nothing I can do about it at the moment and I hear Tamoxifen may even make it worse... Anyway, hi...

Also Perth here. Love the shitty titty. Mine was caught early … lumpectomy and radio…one year on am taking letrazole and am ok. But I find this forum comforting, because no matter the stage or the age, you need others around you. Take care x

@daikym 😝 and best of luck with your treatment and next steps.

Hi I don’t really have anything to add except I love “ The shitty titty club”!!Take Care 🌺

Hey @SarahB77 - sorry to hear about your diagnosis, hope everything goes well for you <3

How is it all going for you?

Yeah, ok. Just started second week of radiation...so far not too bad. Am tired, but also not sleeping great, so could be that too. How about you...do you have a treatment plan in place?
