Mucinous carcinoma of the breast

Hi everyone, I have a rare form of breast cancer which affects only 2% of all women diagnosed . It would be good to hear from anyone else who has been diagnosed with this type of cancer and how they are coping .

Hi Katykooabura,

 

I can’t help as I had plain old IDC the most common type.  I just wonder if this is the best place on the forum for your post (it seems to be in the ‘have I got breast cancer’ bit).  You might get more replies if you also posted in ‘recently diagnosed’ and/or ‘going through treatment’.  With the new forum layout a lot of established users are maybe busy getting used to the changes and not able to spot new posts.

 

Hope you get some useful replies soon.

Hi Katykookabura

I have just joined the forum - wanted to respond to your post as I haven’t seen many posts about mucinous breast cancer. I hope you are well considering …

 

I was diagnosed with mucinous cancer in November 2011. I had a WLE and SNB, which showed no cancer of the lymph nodes.

I had 15 sessions of radiotherapy in Feb-Mar 2012 and no chemo. I was grateful there was no need for chemo but did feel very tired and quite low for a time. More than a year after treatment finished,  I feel  as ‘back to normal’ as it gets I think! How are you?

 

I Feel a bit of an odd one out too - not many of us mucinous girls about!
