Help please
I don't know if I am allowed to ask this as I have only just joined the community. Does anyone have a link to a list of medical oncologists specialising in metastatic breast cancer?

Newly Diagnosed - glad to learn of this Network!
Hi, another new one here. I have just received my news and am awaiting an appointment with a surgeon, and also waiting on further results. I am going public as I don't have private health. My mother had breast cancer and during treatment she also found out she had bowel cancer. Mum is still with us 20 years on, so this…

Good news and thank you to the network
Dear friends ( that's how I think of you) I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2018. After over 18 months of aggressive treatment - chemo, bilateral mastectomy and radiation, my specialist has sounded the all clear. I know that it could all re-occur but I am clear for now. I wanted to say thank you for all your…

(Hopefully) At the end of my journey
Hi everyone. I have been reading all your posts (thank you) and never wrote anything myself until now. I was diagnosed with a pretty small but aggressive tumour last June, and pretty quickly moved to a lumpectomy, then 4 dense doses of AC chemo, followed by a planned 12 weeks of Taxol (I only got to 8 due to peripheral…

This is scary
I've had such a quick ride from Breastscreen finding a 2cm tumour, with no apparent lymph node activity, through - oh there are 2 sentinel nodes affected, to let's do a CT scan to rule out any spread, to yesterday - I don't like the look of your scan. It's in the chest and lungs.

still in shock
Five weeks ago I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in both sides. I have had surgery and have a oncology appointment next week. The pathology result down graded the cancer from 2 to 1 and lymph nodes were not affected. So some good news in a not so good situation. Everyone around me has been so supportive and…
