I been diagnosed with metaplastic breast cancer. Its rare and accounts for 1% of breast cancer. Finding many forums are american wanted to know if anyone else out there going through this?
hi ihave just been diagnosed i’m in england and really in shock about the whole thing
I was diagnosed in Feb, had a Wide local excision in April, good margins and clear lymph nodes. Chemo started in May. 7 cycles, 3 of EC chemo and 4 of paclitaxol every 2 weeks. Last one is in 2 weeks time, then radiotherapy. My tumour was a mixed squamous and adenocarcinoma. I have good days and bad days, it’s scary, wished I had a more common type of breast cancer and not triple negative! Even better would be not to have it all.

Hi Debs, my breast cancer was also metaplastic and you’ll be pleased to know mine was diagnosed in April 2012…and I’m still here ?.. i was a bit shocked when I was told and there isn’t much information about it either … I just think to myself it’s just like any other invasive breast cancer with a posher name… lol x
