Hi Marie, I'm sorry to hear that your sister has had such a hard battle. I’m so glad that she hasn’t had any metastasis. I too am having some fertility issues, my husband and I were actively trying when I found out the news and I suffered a terrible miscarriage a few months prior to my diagnosis. This year has been one for the books. My sister has been a great support system for me and is planning on being a surrogate for me as I can’t try again for 5 years due to tamoxifen. 💗 it is so important to have supportive friends and family and I’m sure you mean the world to her as my sister does to me. love, Dana

Hi Mai, I am so glad to hear that you are doing well! It gives me some reassurance to hear stories of it not moving past lymph nodes. I feel like I need constant reassurance to be honest! That is true about the scans. I can see that there would be positives and negatives to it. I am getting better with time with my anxiety..it’s definitely challenging.

Hi Kip, Thank you so much for your reply and words of advice. I am curious if they did any scans on you-PET, bone,etc? My oncologist says that I don’t need to do that unless i have symptoms of metastasis and that it causes unnecessary anxiety. i am scared to death to have one done but I feel like I’ll continue to have anxiety unless I know I’m clear. I was curious what other clinics do as protocol.

Hi Claire, I have almost the exact same issues going on as you. I am stage 2, grade 3 IDC. They took 17 lymph nodes and I had one that was positive. i struggle daily with worrying it has spread further and have terrible anxiety about it. My oncologist told me that it is not necessary to do any scans unless I have symptoms of metastasis, are you doing additional scans? i think it would give me some reassurance, but I am so scared to do them. I’ve been trying to find survivor stories with lymph positive breast cancer and knowing that we have a small number of positive nodes is reassuring too. But it is very difficult to stay sane with aches and pains. I hope you find reassurance soon!

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed in feb at 28 years old with estrogen positive IDC. During my mastectomy, they found that it had spread to one lymph node (out of 17 tested). I worry constantly about it spreading further to my bones, etc and think every ache and pain could be bad news. I am driving myself crazy. My oncologist is confident that my chemo and radiation will prevent it from recurring and that it is gone now. Does anyone have any stories about lymph node positive cancer survivors to make me feel less anxious? Or words of advice in dealing with my anxiety?
