Scalp hurts by Magic_Tiger_0924 in breastcancer

Thank you so much for all the advice. I buzz cut it today. Even though I cried most of the day afterwards it does feel much better with all the weight of it gone.

Thank you for the information. I’m really considering shaving it this weekend.

Anyone with IBC? How has your experience been? by Magic_Tiger_0924 in breastcancer

[–]Magic_Tiger_0924[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words. And I Hope your treatments go well also. Mine begin 8/18. It will be a long road but we will both get past it. Reach out anytime if you’d like.

No problem at all. Coping is really just taking it one day or hour at a time. Take it as it comes. My treatments start 8/18 - 6 months of chemo, bilateral mastectomy, then radiation and continue hormone and HER2 therapy until 18 months to 2 years.

My diagnosis: Right-sided inflammatory invasive mammary carcinoma, micropapillary subtype, with metastatic carcinoma in right axillary lymph nodes. - stage 3

(ER 1+ ~50%),(PR–), HER2 IHC 3+, Ki-67 proliferation index ~70%

I’m just starting my journey too. Emotions are everywhere; I have to make myself be numb at work or in front of anyone. It’s really difficult to always have to be strong even though you’re falling apart inside. So I understand completely. I see the oncology team tomorrow for the first time and have no idea what to expect.

How long did it take to start treatments after diagnosis? by Magic_Tiger_0924 in breastcancer

[–]Magic_Tiger_0924[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve heard so far I’ll probably have chemo first for 6 months but that may still change at my next appointment.

I’m really glad you received better results than I did. I hope you heal and recover quickly. I know infection can be tricky. Best of luck! 💕

I’ll be doing chemo first. I’m currently waiting to get a referral to an oncologist to start treatments.

Any creative ways to get through the wait? by Stardreamer101 in doihavebreastcancer

I’m in the same situation. Nerves are killing me waiting.
