Hi everyone. I never thought I would be back on here. I had mastectomy in 2021 with implant. All seemed well until it had already spread to lymph nodes. 7 out of 14 positive. Had to have EC chemo 5 months followed by radiotherapy. The RT ruined the implant...
Hello everyone I have recently started Chemotherapy and, if I’m honest, I felt quite confident that at the end of my treatment I would be safe from reoccurrence of my cancer. I now find myself worrying endlessly that my cancer could reoccur. My question...
Hello. I’m on cycle 2 of 8 capecitabine cycles (after chemo, lumpectomy, radiotherapy) and the soles of my feet have in the last 36 hours gone red, tiny bit swollen, tingly and I’m thinking plantar-palmar syndrome. I’ll speak to my help line tomorrow...
Hi all, I have grade 2 stage 3 triple negative breast cancer and have had 6 months chemo (PC and EC) alongside immunotherapy and mastectomy 4 weeks ago. The histology showed only 4mm tumour remaining (was 78mm pre treatment!) and only a few isolated...

Hi everyone I was recently diagnosed with above. My next appt is 1 September. I have been a T1 diabetic for 60 years. My control is not good and I was asked whether I would consider an insulin pump. I initially said no. I was still reeling from the...
I’m also in the same boat this week . New diagnosis breast cancer . I don’t think it’s very nice not to be warned to take someone with you for tests . It’s a hell of a shock to be told the news especially when you’re on your own . Routine tests they obviously...
Hello everyone, I am new on here. I have been diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer and have just started weekly TCHP last week. I had Paclitaxyl, Carboplatin and also a Phesgo injection. I seem to be suffering a different side-effect daily but...
