She has had 6 radiation treatments, on IV Chemotherapy, and also taking tamoxifen. This has all happen in the last week. She has a positive outlook and hopes to go home by June. This web page has given me alot of information that I needed, thank-you. Please pray for her. Thanks

So i am scared to death . they called my ob/gyn asap and he called me this morning and told me to see a suregon he was going to call. So now i am on for 5-8-00. I am going crazy. I am so scared i was just checking out your site and trying to get some more information. Thank you....... Dana

I am 44 years old. I am scheduled for a mag view next week. My mammogram revealed a small cluster of calcifications in my left breast. All of the research indicates that the calcifications would only be benign if they were scattered throughout my breast. Can anyone confirm this? My breast surgeon says it might just be "pre-cancer". I've been researching DCIS. Need more info. My mother and her sister both died from breast cancer. My Aunt was only 41 when she was diagnosed. Three aunts on my Dad's side also have breast cancer. I am a participant in the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial and just stopped taking Tamoxifin about a year ago. This "cluster" was not present in my mammogram last year. If anyone can give me more info on pre-cancer I would appreciate it. My doctor says I have a 50/50 chance of it being malignant. Should I assume that this cluster is either non-invasive or invasive cancer? Or, is there still a chance that it is benign?

Just diagnosed with DCIS, I have no female relative (mom, sister, aunt) who has not had breast cancer, and my mother died of ovarian cancer after 2 breast cancers. My sister is still alive after diagnosis and treatment for inflammatory breast cancer. I am doing bilateral masectomies with implant reconstruction. Life is more important than having a body part likely to kill me. Why isn't more research done on causes???

I am 19 years old, and recently discovered a tumor in my breast. I had it removed and the biopsy revealed that it was a fibroid adenoma tumour. It was benign, thank god, but I still am scared that I had a tumour. I have no family history, and am only an A or B cup. Your web site is full of comforting and informative facts on breast cancer.

Both my mother and grandmother were informed that they had breast cancer in Nov 99. Grandmother had lumpectomy and radiation and is doing well. Mother had cancer in both breast. She had double mastectomy on 4/17/00 and a hysterectomy this past Friday (precancerous cells). She was told that she also has cancer in the lymph nodes and was informed that radiation should take care of this. Please say a prayer for me and my family.

I found out I had breast cancer in December and was operated on one week later -was 4 centimeters and one centermeter went out -am taking taxmixifin and am having reations - not bad but still reactions - nausea is the main one - is anyone else experiencing this - am seeing my oncologist for thefirst time next friday - - that's another question - how often does everyone see their oncologist for followups- i have not seen or heard from mine since he said he wanted me to to chemo and then taxmixifin. Really could use some help because I need to talk to him on Friday aboutthis.

I just want everyone to know that my mother had severe breast cancer. It was so bad that they removed all of her lymph nodes, went through chemo and radiation and she has fully recovered. She is in her third year of remission. I just want to tell all women who recieve breast cancer have a lot of faith and always have a positive outlook on life. The doctors tell my mom that she would have been worse, but her happiness and positive attitude helped her to become the healthiest woman ever. Please just have faith and my prayers are with everyone who recieves breast cancer.

I do not have breast cancer myself, however my very good friend has just had a lumpectomy with gland removal. Her glands were clear, but she needs to go right back in and have more tissue removed. After that she will have the six weeks of radiation. Has anyone ever had to go right back in to surgery to have more tissue removed? If so please email me with your results. Also, I am interested in knowing if the Tamoxifin has helped. God Bless all of you survivors and also those of you who have lost a loved one to Breast Cancer.

Hi, I am a 34 year old women who had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy,last year. Thankfully to websides like yours and others I was quickly updated about various issues concerning breast cancer. I can highly recommend support groups which , at least for me, are a necessity to attend. However, to begin with I was a false negative and only my persistence to remove my lump (5mm) saved my live. Unfortunately , my doctor didn't share the same opinion, at the beginning. I would like to know whether other women perceived the same difficulties of getting heard. Wishing you all the best Christiane

I would like to know more about tamoxifin as I see many others do too. I'm struggling as to whether or not to stay on it. I went on it 2 years after my lumpectomy and my diagnosis was excellent. I've only been on it about 18 months but I don't know if I really should be I am experiencing a lot of hair loss on top and other places. Can anyone give me any information about this drug that would ease my mind? I am also tired of going in for a yearly ultra-sound and sonogram to check for uterun cancer that the tamoxifin could cause. So why do we take this stuff?

I was diagosed with breast cancer last year two weeks before my 40th birthday (God has a way of making our milestones feel insignificant). As the mother of two young boys, imagine the fear I felt of leaving them motherless. I lived through this experience because of excellent medical care, support of friends and family, prayer and old fashioned luck. Best experience of my life, although I wouldn't wish it on a soul. Lumpectomy, chemo, radiation, Tamoxifen, monthly shots of Zoladex. ..And I keep on living, day to day.

I am a senior at the high school and I am doing intensive research on the topic. I have constructed my own breast self examination and had a pretty good turn out. I am doing this project because I once had a lump in my right side breast. My mother also had pre-cancerous cells at one time. This topic has helped me greatly and I thank you all out there for your help. I had six speakers at my seminar and two were real actual breast cancer survivors. I have learned too much which is only good. I have so many pamphlets and shower breasts I will never forget my monthly chech up. Thanks you guys, Breena

Hi I am a 45 yr old, who in 1999 was told I had caner in the right breast. I had a section removed and underwent 6 wks. of radiation. It has been less than 7 months and another mammogram showed 3 more spots. Last Thurs. 3/27/00 I ended up having my entire right breast removed. There was 5cm found the 2nd time. It is non invasive and I'm doing fine. The kicker to all this is that my mother at age 64 had a massectomy because of invasive cancer and my aunt (her sister) at age 45 had the same as I do. They are both 5yrs clean. My point to all of this is that you have to talk with each other and support each other to get to the healing point. We have become very close and we're learning more about it and each other every day. To all who are undergoing any breastcancer stress now My prayers are with you. Thanks for listening, Pat

After watching my wife of 30 years endure a mastectomy, chemotherapy, bone scans etc a few years ago, thanks to your website I have a better insight of how it feels " from the other side ", and a greater understanding of her behaviour change during that time. As a loving husband, I was determined to be with her throughout, and give her all the support available. I am very pleased to say that as of this date, every subsequent test has come back with very positive results ! In closing, I would like to direct a comment towards the Husbands, Boyfriends, and Significant Others of the ladies stricken with this malady. Take the time to be with your partner during this period, and give all you have to making her comfortable. Consider it an investment in your future together. It will probably be the best thing you have ever done.

There is no history of it in my family, yet for some unfortunate reason i was forced to face the cruelty of life as a fourteen year old and again at 17. It is imperative that people know it affects more that women over forty and it is important to examine yourself at all ages. Age does not exclude you nor family history... please examine yourself regularly.!!!

Cat scan and bone scans I had were clear except for a shadow on my liver. I had an ultra sound done for that which came back clear. Today I had another cat scan done to make sure my liver is clear. I'm still waiting for those results. Would like to be in touch with someone with similiar situation, which has been the scariest of my life. Thanks!!

I was 46 and had been having yearly mammograms - that saved my life! I had a second mastecotmy (elective) in 1995 and saline implant reconstruction with very poor results. I am going to have to have those implants taken out and am considering the DIEP flap. This is a wonderful site - God bless us all!

I'm 37 y/o. I had a maternal aunt diagnosed with BC when she was 37. I've had two biopsies and recently found another lump. After a mammogram, the (general) surgeon said everything looked o.k. and that because I also have a family history of Fibrocystic Breast disease that I will probably just have to live with lumpy, bumpy breasts the rest of my life. I don't agree! Just two days ago my 41 y/o sister was diagnosed with (contained cells?) breast cancer. She has a million and three questions. Me too!! She demanded and made me promise to call my GYN on Monday. After looking around your site, I will. I'm sending her your site address as well. Thanks for being here for those of us who need educated about these issues that we felt "that will never happen to me".

I had a stereotactic biopsy done in November 99 for calcifactions that appeared on a mammogram done 11/8/99. When I went for a re-check mammogram 3/8/00, the radiologist was concerned to find that all the calcification sites were still there, but fortunatley unchanged. He led me to believe that the biopsy was useless. The surgeon maintains that he took a sampling of the calcification, which showed no cancer and there is nothing to be concerned about. Of course, I do not want to have surgery, but I am wondering if I should have the calcifications removed entirely. Should I seek a second opinion? Can anyone give me the name of a breast specialist in the Syracuse NY area?
