How can we talk more openly about breast cancer?

Creating open conversations about breast cancer helps reduce stigma and encourages others to prioritize their health through regular screenings and self-exams. This community provides a valuable space where people can share experiences, ask questions, and find support during what can be a challenging journey.

That’s why we are here Catherine. Do you experience conversations around early detection and support being difficult in your circle? My perspective is the more conversation the better! What’s yours? 💛 Suzanne (Community Moderator)

I just finished 21 radiation treatments. My left underarm got burned pretty severely. It had to be treated. I really did not get a n adequate explanation because only the left breast was supposed to be treated as there was no pathology found in the lymph nodes.

Also, midway during radiation treatments, I was told that an MRI showed another spot ( 0.5 cm) that was there but recently identified.

Does anyone know of a good cancer care facility and surgeon that I can switch to ? Now, my present team relates that I have a mass in the right breast, also . It is reportedly .5 cm.
