Breast cancer in both breasts

Hi pink bunny, I only had it one boob - but had multiple lumps in the boob. Once they have performed your mastectomy, they will analyse each lump separately and tell you what each lump is - I had one invasive, one dcis and one pre-cancer. They will also give you the grade, receptors and HER2 for each lump. Once they have this information they will give you a treatment plan. 

From what I understand of breast cancer (check with your oncologist) - breast cancer doesn’t spread from breast to other, it’s likely to be separate cancers. The main thing to focus on is that your CT scan shows no spread outside breast - that is positive!

I’m sorry to jump in to the post.

 But I am worried as I never had CT scan just MRI is this normal?

 Sorry I am seeking reassurance not coping.

Had multi focal in one boob and mastectomy now in chemo.

My breast surgeon told me each NHS trusts have different rules for CT scans. Some offer then more routinely, some offer them under certain conditions. Nothing to be worried about - just ask your oncologist at the next appointment and they’ll explain further. 

Thank you

Everyone seems so brave.

 I’m falling to pieces so emotional sorry.

 Pink Bunny I like to think they are being really thorough and such good news that CT scan showed nothing xxx

Thank you so much! 
from what they told me it was a different kind. 
taking one procedure at a time and staying positive! xxx

Yes, definitely normal, don’t worry. I couldn’t have an MRI, therefore had a contrast mammogram and then a contrast CT scan on top. Go with whatever they suggest and ask questions about the difference. Best of luck, stay positive! xxx

Staying positive is the only way. Worry on top of other worry will not help. We are here to support each other and please reach out to me if you want a chat. We shall all stick together and draw strength from one another. Sending you lots of love! xxx

you don’t need to apologise and you are not alone in your emotions - we all fall to pieces. Our lives changed completely in a single moment so we’ve got a lot to process. Being emotional is healthy - it means you’re not bottling things up.

sending you big hugs - and again you are not alone - we are all here with you xxx

Thank you I’ma mess at the moment

“Being emotional is healthy - it means you’re not bottling things up” Thanks for writing that SKC8  Having a quiet sob at the moment about my fears for my ‘good’ boob, trying to pull myself together.
