Hi all,

Didn’t know how to update my last post, so here we are,

Dmx yesterday, it went fine, no lymph nodes were taken, they couldn’t tell which one was the sentinel node because of the scar tissue post lumpectomy, surgery took about 4 hours,

Pain is manageable, was super dizzy last evening and very nauseous, but after nausea meds I was able to have some dinner, that I ate very slowly and ,I’m better now

Definitely felt the love and the prayers, thank you

Wish me luck, I’m going in today,

Currently in the waiting area after being injected with the radioactive substance to trace the sentinel lymph node,

Nervous and scared, I was hoping they wouldn’t touch the lymph nodes since my pet scan was clear, but, oh well,

I hope this is the last time I’m told I have a cancerous tumor , as this is my second recurrence,

First diagnosed stage 4 two years ago exactly, er 30%, a couple of small liver mets, went with curative intent, had AC/taxol, then Oophorectomy, been on PARP inhibitor and estrogen blocker since,

First recurrence, 15% er+ September 2025 (thought I was heading towards triple neg for sure), had a lumpectomy in October , back on same treatment, clear pet scan in December aside from some inflammation at the surgery site,

Second recurrence picked up on mri in March, 50% er+, 15%pr+, pet scan showed everything else was clear, so I opted for a double mastectomy to reduce the burden of disease and hopefully not have to deal with this anymore,

I’m so worried of metastasis elsewhere popping up after this, I really hope not hear about more popping up after having been clear since chemo ended,

Send me prayers, positive thoughts, good juju, send it all, everything you have , I’ll take it all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey ladies,

Question for the post double mastectomy ladies,

Did your shirt size go down? especially those who had bigger “girls”

Planning a double mastectomy soon, and currently 40DD, wondering if I’ll go a little down in shirt size since I won’t have to accommodate for bust circumference anymore
