Hi @selwena, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I’m sorry to see you’re going through a similar breast cancer journey. Was your cancer recently diagnosed? Would you care to share your experience with other breast cancer members?

Hi Lori, thank you so much for the warm welcome. I really wanted a forum to discuss.

I was diagnosed in November

3 weeks later had a bilateral mastectomy based on a biopsy of ILC (.5 cm on the right breast). Post mastectomy I learned that it was actually 1.5 cm with 1 node positive and no lymphovascular invasion, or no capsular invasion.

3 week after mastectomy I was started on CMF chemotherapy. I receive every two weeks given a dose dense regimen. The plan is to have radiation following this and hormone therapy and ovarian suppression.

I've received two doses of chemo, and I have six doses left.

The removed tumor was ER and PR + Her 2 -
