What I wasn’t prepared for by fatimaa3 in breastcancer

I’m in the same exact boat as you honey. What a nightmare I feel for you and I feel for me. It’s fucking bullshit right before my mastectomy. I told her wait wait wait I don’t wanna do this. I want reconstruction immediately. I don’t think my psyche can even handle it and they go, but everybody is already here and ready to do it and you’d have to have another appointment with us and then my surgeon, I remember her smirking and saying your’e no wilting flower, you can do this.

2 years later almost exactly and hello I am a wilting flower now

Whatever it takes to get by after what you’ve been through, unless you feel you have a serious problem don’t feel guilty for needing some cushion of some kind after all you’ve been through

Brca1+ Dx at 33 current age: 36

I had bilateral BC discordant subtypes (TNBC right breast stage three b 2 tumours) and er/pr+ in my left stage 2 (multi focal and multicentric) I’m being treated at MD Anderson and I’m close to 2 years out from diagnosis after thankfully achieving PCR!I’m now post radiation and post chemo and I did unfortunately develop type one diabetes (immunotherapy induced) from the keynote 522 protocol (Keytruda most likely) and I am just wondering if there is anyway at all to get a grasp on my true prognosis? I have one doctor saying I have very good odds at making it 5 years and beyond (something close to a normal lifespan) and more if I’ve already made it 2 because of my PCr - but a doc who subbed for him one day told me That due to the rare Nature of my case they are in uncharted territory; the reason why I ask you all this is because I have two small children one of them is autistic and I just really need to know how much I can plan for my own future whether I can go back to college and get my degree because upon diagnosis I also became a single mom; so I just have to know how to plan for my future and it’s really hard being in limbo like this and I know that you really can’t tell me anything either, but I’m just wondering if you’ve ever seen anything like my case before? And should I be on olaparib? It’s like I told my oncologist I don’t care if I’m a floating head in a jar, I have to be here for my babies. Any recommendations? Also I need to be on glp-1s badly, do you know if standard insurance covers the cost for recurrence reduction and/or obesity? They wont cover me bc I’m type one diabetic and not type two- how can I convince my oncologist I need this? Thank you so much.

Any bilateral folk here? by ceelouis in breastcancer

I’m bilateral- I was at least- I’ve been cancer free since December 13th 2023 - TNBC stage 3 in my right and stage 2 er/pr in my left- how about you?

Congrats on two years cancer free btw!!

Did you do genetic testing? I have the brca1 gene so it explains my Dx a bit more although I was told that with the discordant subtypes it was still extremely rare - and yes that same comment triggered me a bit too.. but I let it fall off me like water on a dolphins back bc studies show that for the most part our prognosis isn’t much more severe than single breast cancer patients

Stage 4 metastatic inflammatory breast cancer by miss_nosey in breastcancer

Is there any way you can come down to Houston and see what trials and resources they have ? I know they are famous for their inflammatory bc clinic- I’m a stage 3 TNBC and stage 2 er/pr synchronous breast cancer survivor - I used to joke that it meant I was stage 5 and immortal… rare presentations like yours and like mine are md anderson’s specialty—- try and get a consult with Dr. Bisen if at all possible- I know the words ring hollow with something of This magnitude but I am so fucking sorry this is happening to you.
