It returned 2 fold nine years later in 2010. They told me although it returned in same breast...it was 2 completely different cancers. Mastectomy followed by 3…

Newly diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer
I just found out that I have triple negative breast cancer. They are saying it's stage 1A and it's not in the lymph nodes. I am 44 years old. I've opted for a double mastectomy with reconstruction. I have to do chemo. Has anyone had a similar situation? I'd love to hear about it. I'm scared of the recovery. I don't want to…
Back Home From The Hospital!
Hi All, I've been in the hospital. I finally called my cancer nurse who told me to go to the ER immediately when things were no better late Tuesday afternoon. Miserable as I was, I went and they kept me. We always think the worse! In 2008 I had malignant celiac nodes (nodes near stomach). Since I was also having pain in…
On to Surgery
So, done with A/C, done with Taxol. Lumpectomy scheduled for May 17. I had my mind set that I would have a BMX, since I already had HR/PR+ in the left girl in 2010. This was triple- in righty. I thought, nuts, might as well get both of them off, so this wouldn't happen again. My surgeon, however, had a different idea. He…
radiation
I started my radiation treatments again. They are trying to blast it out of my chest. This type of cancer doesn't go away so they said they would try to blast it, and thats why I am burning so bad, they want it to burn some. They think they can prolong it longer from coming back so soon this way. So I am going to try and…

low serum Vitamin D correlated with cancer - Vital to get tested
Very significant and I urge you to get tested. Research points to a clear relationship between Vitamin D and cancer, including recurrance and survival. You should make sure your level is clearly above 30 ng/ml, at a minimum. Consensus among researchers suggest being 40 to 60 ng/l one scientific presentation here:…
