Preventative surgery
Hello. I am 62 years old. I have a very strong family history of breast cancer. My mum died at 63. Is there anyone who has either had a double mastectomy as a preventative measure?

Going to chemo in a wig
Yesterday, I started my first chemo session. Three nurses tried to find my veins for a cannula. Finally, they called a vascular nurse to locate the vein under ultrasound and will have inserted a PICC for the further sessions. Nothing to do with their competence but with my very bad veins. Anyway, I decided to ignore all…

Nervous
Newly diagnosed with invasive breast cancer mid December. Surgery delayed once already but now is tomorrow with a lymphoscintography shortly. Feeling very nervous and quite emotional today - haven’t really cried since diagnosed but today I can’t seem to stop. Is this how others have felt?

Radiation side effects
I'm almost at the end of my RADS and consequently I have a sensitive, hot, rash covered, pink breast. One of the lovely people at RNSH Radiation told me of this great idea that he heard from another of his patients. Put your sorbolene cream in the fridge to keep it cold so when you apply the cream, it is cooling and…

TNBC at 72 years old!
Hi I was recently diagnosed with TNBC Grade 3. Tumour is small at 11 mm. I’m at the stage of the Medical team discussing options for surgery first. I am hoping this is the case as surgeon has indicated that he believes that removal will be successful. At this time the lymph nodes appear to be clear. I have to wait another…
