Anyone else have a massive tumour?

Hi, yes 10.5 cm & another 1.5cm one found during surgery, so shocked, I was large busted and dense tissue. 54 when diagnosed. Also in lymph nodes 

I hope your treatment goes well

Best wishes x 

Thank you. X

Hi,  yes I did.  Read my profile for more info.  Just to add to it, I am still on treatment until September, but leading a fairly normal life etc. I was too young for screening too x

Yes mine was 10cm - this was in my right side which had shrunk - it turned out the tumour was eating my breast tissue - I had no other option but to have a mx.  Also I had full clearance of my nodes & out of the 18 taken 16 were infected with one being ulcerated. 
Just finished my chemo - 3 of EC and 3 of Docetaxel - starting my Radiotherapy soon.

Wishing you all the best with your treatments x

Similar journey to me.  I found a lump which was 1.8cm on scan, only when I had an MRI scan there was approx 11cm of further cancer and in my lymph nodes.  No other choice but to have mastectomy with delayed reconstruction which I am on the waiting list to have.

All the best with the rest of your treatment x

Hi I had my first mammogram at 52 due to covid and had no idea I had a large area of disease.  On the left side I had multifocal invasive ductal cancer with total area 13cm. On the right side I had multifocal lobular invasive cancer largest 1.6cm. I had lymph node involvement so had double mastectomy and full axillary clearance on both sides. I then had 6 rounds of FEC-T and 15 sessions of radiotherapy ending October 2022. I returned to work a month later and now take tamoxifen. I've slowly built up stamina and back to feeling strong and healthy going back to horse riding this year. I'm so grateful for screening as I also had large dense breasts and could not feel anything unusual myself.
