Hello I have a mastectomy of my right breast scheduled in a couple of weeks. At the same time, I'll be having a DIEP flap reconstruction. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice about what to expect during the procedure, things to pack and take with me to the hospital that might be helpful, or any tips that saved you during your recovery. Thank you!

I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and now I'm really worried about COVID. Should I be more concerned about catching it? I'm already feeling so overwhelmed with my cancer treatment, and the thought of dealing with COVID on top of this is just scary.

No sugarcoating it, the prognosis is a bit too overwhelming for me. 😰 What questions did you ask your medical team to get a grasp on your prognosis? How did you handle the uncertainty, and any tips for someone trying to wrap their head around what the future holds?

Reconstruction is on my mind. I'm on chemo now I have been advised to make a decision about the right breast. I understand there is no outcome without risk, is it true that removal doesn't better my odds against breast cancer significantly? Does anyone have experience with fat only Reconstruction? Thank you!

Hello and hope you're being heard! I was just diagnosed with invasive (non estrogen receptive) breast cancer. I'm sorry if that's wrongly stated. I have been having pain and itching since they poke this bear (biopsy/mammo. 6/07/22) I have fibromyalgia and been compartmentalizing pain for 22 yrs. (56) I have been caring for my dad (stroke) 4/21/21, during the investigation of this diagnosis. I know this isn't biopsy pain too long ago now. All literature says no real pain unless inflammatory BC. I have had 3 of 5 diagnostic tests, no mets. Oncology on the 6/30, Chemo for approximately 6 months. Then double mastectomy. Familiar to anyone? Thank you much!
