Hello, Looking for support and advice from anyone. Feeling in utter shock. I've just received biopsy results to say my lump is ductal stage2 BC. I have a few more lumps on the same breast so they have biopsied them and 1 of my lymph nodes. No for another...
Hi all, I’m six weeks post WLE surgery (DCIS and small - grade 1a - tumour) and SNB (all clear). I’m waiting for a radiotherapy appointment next week to schedule treatment but having spoken to breast care nurse today am looking at a wait that will put...
Hi there, I had radiotherapy in December after the removal of a DCIS in October. I had scar tissue beneath my scar (of course, duh!) from the get go, but in April I noticed 3 hard lumps close to the original scar tissue but not right next to it. I have...
Hi All, Catastrophizing slightly… My mortgage is up for renewal as well as life and critical cover. I don’t actually think I have critical illness cover at the moment, just life insurance. I’ve got an appointment at breast clinic at the end...

Hi folks. I got diagnosed yesterday, early stage, grade 2, an invasive ductal carcinoma. Got to have gene testing before finding out a treatment plan as I’m 38…this all feels so surreal. Got to wait a week until my appointment, hate that it’s in me doing...
