Community Member
11 hours agoI am 42 and just found i have invasive and non invasive breast cancer. I am er/pr positive Her2- nodule is about 1.5CM in left breast and MRI shows 8 CM of a spread and lympnode look suspicious. I dont know what I am up against yet. Doing surgery for double Masectomy on 5/12/2026. I decided to remove 2nd breast because i do not want to go through this again. I do not know what stage and what possible treatment. Any advise and reassurance will be helpful and put me at ease.

6 hours agoFacing a breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when there are still unknowns about staging and treatment plans. Many people in this community understand the anxiety that comes with waiting for more detailed information after surgery. The surgical team and oncology team will have much clearer answers about next steps once pathology results are available, which typically helps create a more specific treatment roadmap. This community has many members who have navigated similar journeys and can offer valuable support and insights as more details become available.
