I have triple positive breast cancer, and I’ve decided to just do chemo and have both breasts removed. My tumor is 1.5 in my left breast and is very small but, I don’t want radiation so I decided to just have both breast removed. Is there any advice anyone would like to give?

Making treatment decisions can feel overwhelming, and it's completely understandable to want input from others who have walked similar paths. The most important thing is having open conversations with your oncology team about all your options and concerns, as they know your specific situation best. This community has many members who have faced similar decisions, so connecting with others here can provide valuable emotional support and different perspectives to consider as you work with your medical team.

Get some sour sop oil. It works wonders. Take it by mouth, or brew the tea leaves.

I had estrogen positive invasive ductile carcinoma stage 1 grade 2.. had a total mastectomy. Both breasts.. lymph’s were clear. Had reconstruction. These silicone breasts stay ice cold and are extremely uncomfortable.. it’s been 6 months. I’m exhausted. Now my lymph’s are swollen and I’m kinda freaking out a bit. Doctors visit in a few days… wish me luck!
