Very surprised to have been informed I have invasive lobular breast cancer grade 3, was expecting the lump I found to be benign given what had been said at mammogram and ultrasound clearly the results of the biopsy showed something else. Have to wait...
Hi All, I found a lump in my left breast a couple of weeks ago and I honestly thought nothing of it. I do tend to get cysts in both and have since I was about 14. 2 weeks passed and i decided as it hadn't changed to go get it checked, dr has referred...
I have stage 3 DCIS & the BCN informs me they are looking to do a lumpectomy. I am unsure if I want a lumpectomy or mastectomy. A mastectomy would mean it can't return & wouldn't require radiotherapy ( always a plus). But a lumpectomy is less invasive...

Hi all, I've started a 2 weekly regime on EC. My first round was last week and the nausea, gas, diarrhea, lack of sleep completely wiped me out for 5 days. I was given metoclopramide and levomepromazine to help but they weren't great for the first 3...
Hi, does anyone take these tablets ? I have had one zolodronic acid infusion and had a bad leg for a week, so decided to take ibandronic acid tablets but now don't know
This might well be controversial to ask here, but I've been on Anastrozole for 15 months now after Stage 2 ER positive diagnosis, full single mastectomy but not needing chemo or radiotherapy mercifully. So I know I'm 'lucky', but I've now fed up with...
