Showing my support

I am 20 years old. Since I was younger I have always supported this cause. I believe the woman facing this cancer are strong and I am a huge supporter of that strength. But when I was younger I wasn't able to help much, just a little here and there. But now that I am older, I want to be a part of helping a greater cause. I want to know and find ways I can help. I know I may not know much of this cancer through experience but I know it must be devastating to the familys and the women themselves. I want to help. If anyone has any ideas that I can do to help other than donate because I already am and will continue to. I just want to be a part of helping hands-on.

Christmas eve 2009 my friends life changed forever...  not long after so did mine. 

I remember before the diagnosis speaking with her and talking about the lump.. her youngest child was soon to turn 2 so blocked milk ducts seemed the likely diagnosis..  she is only 37 it couldnt be any thing else....

The results came back and as we had all thought it was just a cyst.. but to err on the safe side she would go for a mamogram, better to be safe than sorry.

Thats when it all went wrong.  The lump was a cyst but they had discovered extensive cancer in the milk ducts...  37yr...  How...

I first discovered the lump when I was showering a few days ago.  I didn't think anything of it besides maybe an ingrown hair.  When I checked the mirror last night, however, I noticed that there was no inflammation or redness where the lump was on my right armpit.  I felt it and noticed that it was under the skin.  It was about the size of a marble.  After poking at it, I realized it was probably not a large pimple or ingrown hair, but something much more.

I will be seeing the doctor tomorrow at 3:30.  I really hope it's not what I think it is.  Perhaps its just a swollen lymph node that will go away?

The  only person who had breast cancer in my family was my aunt on my mom's side of the family.  They say it was stress induced.

I will hopefully find out more tomorrow?&l ... Read More »

I need some help......diagnosed Dec 18th with DCIS, SOLID TYPE, CENTRAL NERCROSIS, NUCLEAR GRADE 3/3. Supposedly going in for lumpectomy next week and my friends think I am crazy to undergo radiation when I could just have a mastectomy and get it over with......

This is where this gets really crazy....I hope you can follow me on this.....when I went into see the Oncologist surgeon, during my visit he wanted to know why I chose to ignore this matter from 2008 as the size was at least 9 cm of area of concern. I was told I was clean and clear from 2008 mammo center.....so that is just problem #1.......which I am not ready to deal with yet.........#2 There are 2 areas of concern, 1 being the anterior and the other the posterior. Supposedly the anterior is the positive, however the pathologist never marked which was which during the biopsy he took....so after a week with much review from the team that I am working with and no other biopsy, they feel comfortable with thinking it is the ...
