Breast Cancer Now Forum

Nicky, I appreciate you sharing your story. I just finished a lumpectomy, radiation and chemo at the end of July for early stage breast cancer. I am HER2 positive and found another lump had developed during my 3rd chemo treatment. Urgh. So now I am thinking of Mastectomy but really having a hard time deciding. I meet with my dr's next week but I am sure that is going to be their recommendation. I think I am going to have to face it. Thank you for sharing your story. It gave me peace to know that others understand and power through. Best to you and hope for a great recovery. June ... View more

Hey Ladies,  I read on here that someone spoke to their dr and was told that cancerous lumps cannot form during chemo? I can tell you that yes they can. I was between my 3rd and 4th chemo and another cancerous lump was found. I was tested for HER2 and it came back positive and they think that may be why but this is still something in the disease that everyone is still working on. I just wanted to make sure you ladies all don't think it can never happen cause it did to me. Please bring any new lumps to your dr's attention even if you are in the midst of chemo. Wishing you all the best.  June XO ... View more
