Hi, I am also a believer in God and my oncologist told me that people who pray and have people praying for them have the best outcomes. I also had Stage One Breast cancer with a very small tumor. I wanted to get into surgery as soon as possilbe so that the cancer would not spread to my lymph nodes. I thank God that my cancer was found at stage one. The surgery, a lumpectomy, was pretty easy. I did get a second opinion about chemo and decided to go with radiation. That was not hard either. Your treatment plan could be different than mine. I had triple negative breast cancer. I am 64 and back to work full time. I had a follow up mammogram and everything looks good now. I think God was with me through this. I know it is a scary thing to go through. They should have a social worker to help you. You are lucky they caught it early. My opinion is trust the doctors to get on top of it so it does not get worse.

I did not have breast cancer at least I didn't after a double mastectomy. I am experiencing a rash under the right breast continueious opening places on the incision multiple draining areas and infections. I have had a sonogram that showed 2.5 to 3. C. There are areas that are very painful from surgery July 21st 2022. I have been into the dr. She says everything is fine yet after having to be hospitalized for 2 other things not related, there dr.s put me back on antibiotics. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this very painful area might be.. any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Tina Fleming.

Hi Dee, thanks for your response and I'm glad you had a good experience. I have not ruled out surgery but just looking at other options as I'm learning the conventional route. How many months/years are you post surgery? During your lumpectomy did they biopsy your lymph nodes, too? Did you get a biopsy done prior? Thanks!
