What free resources help women fighting cancer prepare for treatment?

For any woman fighting cancer - I put together something free that might help. I’m Kelly, a breast cancer survivor, and during my own journey I remember feeling completely overwhelmed — not knowing what I needed for chemo, surgery, cold capping, drains, radiation, or even how to ask for help. That experience led me to build something I wish I had. I’m launching a completely free resource on December 13th called Re-Femme. It’s for any woman going through any type of cancer. It includes: • A curated cancer-care registry with items needed for each stage of treatment • cold capping and wig fund options you can add to your registry to send to friends and family who want to contribute. • Practical guides on cold capping, drain care, insurance codes, and coping with side effects • Emotional support tools and survivor-led tips • A way for loved ones to know exactly how to support someone going through treatment. You can add items or gift cards to your Re-Femme registry and easily share it with friends and family who want to support you! If you are a woman fighting cancer or know a woman who is, here’s the link to join and be notified the minute we go live! www.joinrefemme.com My only goal is to make the journey less overwhelming for other women. Sending love to everyone fighting, supporting, or healing. 💗

Is a mastectomy necessary for stage 0 breast cancer treatment?

I was diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer. In April/2025. The right breast had surgery in July/2025. The ultra sound of the right breast was negative for breast cancer & Mammogram. Even did a PET-CT scan on the hip to head. They wanted to put in a port,chemo, radiation during my late forties. However, just the other day got a second opinion and wanted me say the tests aren't accurate and cut off my right breast and then after that get chemo and radiation. Well, a bit extreme considered he got dates wrong amd say at the end Her2+ is a gift. Still didn't reconstruct my right to transfer fat from my stomach about 5 months later.

How do you cope with breast cancer diagnosis and relationship betrayal?

Hello, blessings to you all! I’m Ramiah but everyone calls me Mya for short. Nice to meet you all! I was in a bad wreck on the 5th of November, biopsy on the 6th, and I was diagnosed on the 13th of November with having cancer in my right breast after getting a clean bill in my earlier screening in February 14th 2025. Not to mention, finding out that the woman I loved for the last 5 years and the day of the wreck, was cheating on me the whole time, while keeping me around for financial reasons and to assist in raising her/our kids. I’m now living with a friend and her kids, dealing with all of this.. Crying to hold on to my faith in God alone the way cause He’s been by my side thus far… Amen
