I had a mastectomy (mainly because I had 10 tumours in my breast) and had immediate implant - never looked back 3 years on xx

That’s good you are 31 weeks - give it another 3 weeks and even if they deliver at 34 weeks after steroids for baby delivery would be fine (I’m a midwife) - try not to worry xx

Oh gosh yes! Went to sleep with it on my mind and as soon as I woke up it was there, but......... it does get easier and easier - I can only describe it in the early days of having a heavy rucksack on your back carrying it about and as time goes by that rucksack get lighter and lighter until now for my the rucksack is still on my back but empty and don’t know it’s there. Those early days are awful, you dream and think all sorts but like I say it DOES get easier xx

I don’t come on here much, mainly due to the fact I’m just plodding along with life, very busy at work but every now and again I pop my head in - today more than ever really as it’s 3 years today since I was diagnosed with the same grade 2 ER+ and 3 years on still kicking! No evidence of disease so it’s more of a positive note for you and others in the same boat. Have a lovely Xmas x

I don’t really come on here very often as I’m now living my life positively but this forum was a godsend when I was in your position. That could have been me writing your post over 2 years ago - same thing, mammogram, called back, left breast lump, ultrasound, biopsy then confirmed as invasive ductal carcinoma - I had a mastectomy but I’m living life to the full now and just had my 2nd annual mammogram all clear - keep your chin up because as difficult as it is now it WILL get easier xxx

Amazing!!! So honoured to be sat at that table and I really hope this post will give the positivity and reassurance to those people who are reading this who have been feeling down about their diagnosis - you really have to get that chin up, head held high and march on because you know what? you can do it xxxx

1.7cm invasive ductal carcinoma ER+ PR+ HER2- with other areas of small invasive hence mastectomy. No chemo (as lymph nodes clear) and no radiotherapy (because had mastectomy) and daily Tamoxifen for 5 years.

Diagnosed Dec 2016 - went off sick as couldn’t face work (i’m a midwife and didn’t feel safe when my head was elsewhere). Mastectomy 1st Feb 2017, no other treatment needed (other than daily Tamoxifen tablet) and went back to work 3rd April

Don’t worry about having the two areas (I had 10 lumps! 😳 ) all gone now thanks to the mastectomy 😘

I’ve not heard of a tear drop one - mine was mesh with a silicone implant. I was only a B cup anyway so I just need my other one filling out a bit and lifting - not sure how they are going to do it? I see the surgeon on Monday to discuss it.

I had an implant in Feb at the same time as mastectomy. It has been fine so far - it does feel heavier that my other breast and quite odd because it’s numb but I think you just get used to it. I am now due to have my other breast reconstructed to match (as it looks lower)

Hi Lucia - the same happened to me. Found a 2cm lump and then more tiny ones on MRI on left breast. I was a B cup and had a mastectomy in February. I had an implant at the same time. I can honestly say yep it was horrendous in the early days of diagnosis, waiting for results etc but i’m now back at work and living life as it was before. There’s always going to be breast cancer in the back of my mind but I think that’s something we all have to learn to live with. Keep positive - there’s light at the end of the tunnel

Runny eggs are no longer on the list of foods to avoid when pregnant so may be the same for treatment so get dipping 😂

Hi Welshmam - I don’t come on here much now but just want to send some positivity - mine was grade 2 hormone receptive and too had a mastectomy but i’m a year on now and back living life as before - you will get through this. They also told me to be prepared for chemo (in case of lymph node involvement) but they were clear so didn’t need it - you might not. Keep your chin up and you’ll get through it x

My mammogram showed one lump, my MRI showed another 6, my mx confirmed 10. So i would opt for MRI - only reason my mammogram only showed one lump was because of dense breast tissue.
