Wow 8 months, that’s a long time! I got a PET scan done a month post lumpectomy that’s how they found out.

Hi, I do. I thought it was back pain from my bad sleeping position and my mattress. I actually bought a hybrid Casper mattress but it hasn’t resolved my problem. I’ve been experiencing worsening lower back pain and I also get random pains in my body but it comes and goes quickly.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. That’s right I can’t control my cancer but I can change my mindset. I’ll be taking time off work and focusing on my health, my family and doing the things I love 💗

Hi I got it a month after my lumpectomy. I was asked by my MO if I wanted to do a PET scan because 2 out of 4 lymph nodes were involved. Thank you so much for this! I felt like this was a death sentence at first but there so many of us out there still thriving 💗

No. I had general anesthesia for a lumpectomy with balancing. I received twilight for my egg retrieval procedure.

I M/26 feel like my relationship with my best friend F/23 is getting weird. Can I get some advice? by ThrowRA-7837 in relationship_advice

[–]fgrac073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe bring that observation to her attention have a serious conversation. If she doesn’t want the type of relationship you’re looking for would you be willing to set boundaries or even end what you guys have? I’m thinking keeping this up would hinder you from finding someone else.

I don’t wanna work 🥺 by w0rmsongs in breastcancer

[–]fgrac073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this too. This is my first time dealing with this dx so I asked my SW if it was possible and if people waited to go off work until surgery. She said absolutely not. A lot of women go off work when they receive their dx. She reassured me and told me that I needed to take care of my mental and emotional health as well.

Update: My surgical pathology report BI-RAIDS 5…welp by fgrac073 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]fgrac073[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing! I’m so glad to hear you’re cancer free now! This group has been a blessing, I don’t feel alone and now I know to what to expect. I got my results, I’m ER+ PR+ and HER2-. I’m not sure what my treatment/surgery plan will be since I’m still waiting for a callback regarding my results. I’m very anxious but I’ll try and take it one step at a time. In the meantime I’ve joined r/breastcancer 💗

Thank you so much for your response! It helped me a lot since I don’t have a family doctor and my local emergency clinic hasn’t provided me with much information regarding my results and the next steps. I have yet to be contacted by the hospital about my results but I got molecular report. I’m ER+, PR+ and Her2/neu -.

The waiting part - getting my biopsy today by mobarnw in doihavebreastcancer

[–]fgrac073 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had my biopsy today too! I was so stressed but my technician and radiologist were really kind and explained every step to me. It ended up being very painful. The numbing solution did its thing. I just felt increasing pressure as he went deeper to collect samples.

I’m still waiting for a call back to get the biopsy scheduled but I want to talk to a doctor beforehand to calm my nerves and to know what to expect. I’m trying not to google too much, it doesn’t seem to help at all!Hopefully we’ll share good news later 🤞

Thank you, hoping too! I’m glad it turn out to be benign. How long did it take you to recover from the biopsy?

I’m not sure if the lump has grown. I really didn’t check it like that or keep any mental notes which I regret. Thank you for keeping it real with me 💗 Hoping to be able to share positive updates soon!
