Re: Mammogram after lumpectomy
I went through this in mid November, the lead up was hard, too much worrying on my part. Mammogram was a bit more painful, but the radiographer was lovely and did her best to minimise the pain. I had to have a core biopsy on a suspicious area a few weeks later, thankfully benign. Try not to worry that you’re worried, but it’s ok to be worried...I’m hoping all will be well with you.
Groups
LGBTIQ+ & breast cancer
We recognise that the breast cancer experience can be uniquely complex for LGBTIQ+ individuals. From navigating healthcare systems that may not always feel inclusive, to dealing with assumptions about gender, bodies, relationships, and identity—this group exists to honour and support those experiences in a safe, affirming environment.Invasive Lobular Cancer (ILC)
This group is for anyone diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC), which begins in the milk-producing lobules and accounts for around 10% of invasive breast cancers (US statistics). Connect with others, share experiences, and access peer support from people who understand the unique aspects of an ILC diagnosis.
