Textured Breast Implants

I had double masectomy in 2014 and textured implants at the same time in reconstruction. I have quite a bit of anxiety over them…

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…

Scanxiety - bone mineral density
Tl;Dr - it’s another 2 am freakout. I'm having a panic into the void. I'm 3 years on from my diagnosis of early breast cancer (hormone positive idc). I went for my routine bone mineral density scan yesterday, and now I'm really frightened. I could see the image as it was being taken, and there was one spot on my spine that…
