First biopsy and scared
Tomorrow morning I have my first biopsy for something found during a routine mammogram which they couldn't see on an ultrasound. They are doing a stereotatic core needle biopsy.

Been A Long Time
I too don't come as much as I once did I guess because I am not so entrenched in it and had to let it go and not let it define me in anyway. Doesn't mean I don't and won't have problems but I am glad that cancer has gotten further away and not always at the front of my brain. It has been 15 years now since my diagnosis and…

3 month check-up with oncologist NED-Why can't I finally relax and believe it?
I just had my 3 month check-up with my oncologist. After going through all the standard bloodwork results, results from a prior CT scan, directions for taking tamoxifen, etc, I asked him if I could officially refer to myself as NED. He told me that is exactly how I could refer to myself. I'm just wondering why I can't say…

I made it through and am finally getting back to my normal life. To those just starting the journey. don't ever give up there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hugs,…

Question for those with Mets to Brain
Hi, I have a question for anyone who has brain mets after breast cancer. Did you notice any change in the way you thought? Did your speech ever mess up words? Did you have trouble remembering the names of things? I have an appointment next week with Oncologist so I will discuss my symptoms with them. I was curious if…

Den is doing okay. After many tests that were all negative (thank heaven) they have concluded that he has lost strength in his throat and tongue and they have put him back on puree and thickened liquids. He is doing well and back in the care center. His PT is going well. He can get to a sitting position on the bed (wht…

Painful intercourse
I am new to this discussion board thing, but I have an issue with painful intercourse. I finished my radiation and chemo last June. I am not able to take any hormones due to my tumor markers. I have tried over the counter KY, but that did not seem to work. Has anyone tried the product Sylk?? It is not cheap, but if it does…

I've got a new issue...
I have about 11 eyebrow hairs left...last night when washing my face there was a little redness where my brows used to be. I didn't think too much of it. This morning the redness was definitely there, and it follows the line of my brows. So what the heck!? Am I now allergic to the eyebrow powder I've been using? Just…

Radiation
I was dx in Dec 2011 with IDC, stage 2, ER+ PR+ HERS-, 0/5 lympnodes. I had a bi-lat mastectomy with TE on Feb 1, 2011. Surgeon told me that I would not need chemo or radiation. Unfortunately, it turns out he "may" have been wrong. 5 weeks after surgery I found out that the tumor was only 2mm from my chest wall and I have…
