Been there. I had an abnormal mammogram in July 2023 followed by an ultrasound and biopsy to learn I had breast cancer. Started treatment in September 2023 which included chemotherapy and immunotherapy. After that, rest, lumpectomy, rest, and then radiation. Through all that, continued immunotherapy. That completed Christmas Eve 2024. Now I'm only on the hormone suppressant for 4 more years. All this to say, feel free to message me. I have lots of tips and tricks and will support you. #CuckFance

Thank you……. I will reach out to you soon.

Just seeing this and it hits incredibly close to home as my wife is scheduled for surgery on March 6th to have a mass removed in her breast. The biopsy came back negative but the Radiologist didn't believe the results so we seen a specialist and are removing it as soon as we can. Anyways, you will be in my thoughts and prayers more than you know. I understand how nothing can ever prepare you to hear those words. It has been a stressful couple months and I feel for what you and your family are going thru. I look forward to hearing you kicked it's ass!!

I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I will be praying for you and your family as well. I insisted they do another in-depth mammogram, just because the breast had a small dip in it. You could only see it if the breast was lifted up. My girls decided to get implants and wanted to compare…… something that silly is how I saw it.

Really thankful that you were proactive. I can only imagine the number of people that would have shrugged their shoulders and not done anything about it.

 

[FedorOfSpades]

Thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong, you can handle this! I also look forward to a future post saying you faced it and kicked its ass!

My wife just finished her treatments in August for breast cancer. Lean on your friends and family, they will want to help, so let them. My wife also found her cancer support group very helpful.

Just remember this is temporary, you will get through it.

@GodStillBlesses - My thoughts are with you and your family. I wish you good health. Knock that Cancer out, stay positive and thank everything that your husband was able to walk away from the accident!

Also, thank you for sharing your story! That was very brave. Keep on trucking on.

Despite an MRI indicating exactly where mine was, neither me nor my doctor could ever feel it or find it. It was too close to the breastplate to be touched. Mine was found by my regular yearly mammogram. I'm glad you had a second one done.

My prayers are with you hope all goes well with everything

UPDATE…….

So I had my first visit today……… my breast doctor is waiting on a genetic marker test. It has not come back yet. They are having a board meeting called a tumor board Wednesday. That board consist of about 10-20 doctors in all kinds of fields that may be needed. I see my OBG/YN Monday week. I don’t understand everything, so I will just post what he said. He doesn’t want to do a lumpectomy now, because it is not contained in one spot. He said it is more like tree roots spreading out. He would have to take a significant amount of breast tissue and still might not get it all. He suggested a mastectomy only on the left, but due to my age (53) if I opted for both breast he would not try to talk me out of it. He doesn’t think it is stage one any more. He said he doesn’t like the stage “thing” but he understood that that is how I would understand. He said there are 3 levels he likes to use………
A……. I would probably not have to have chemotherapy
B1……I would probably have to have chemotherapy
B2……I would have to have chemotherapy

He is hoping for A, but he is pretty sure it is B1.

Not exactly the news I wanted to hear, but it could have been worse.

Still hopeful…….. I am in great spirits…….. God has always been my rock since I was 16…… I have a great support system here and at home. Thank you all for your words of encouragement, your prayers and just your overall willingness to share your stories so I won’t be scared. Thank you. I will post more when I get more information.



I am a very private person and I am having a hard time with this post.

As some of you already know, I have been very sick for about 2 months now. I have had 5 mammograms, 4 ultrasounds, and a barrage of other test done, since November. My annual mammogram came back clean. However, I noticed a difference in my breast and asked the to do a more in-depth mammogram. On Friday February 7, 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is a scary thing to hear. It’s hard telling your spouse (who is Superman) as he crumbles and cries. It’s hard telling your kids who look at you and say, but you’re going to be ok….. right? I am openly and willing to tell my story here….. why? Because 7 months ago this forum openly accepted me into their circle. You all have tormented me with such beautiful chips……. I want them all. lol the camaraderie that this site has is similar to the camaraderie that our race team has and our race community and I am thankful for that. I have met many people on here that I will not forget. I know that I have transactions with people. Those will still be taken care of no worries.

I go back to my breast doctor on the 20th and will have more information then. They will give me a plan of action, a prognosis and a timeframe for all the surgeries and whether I’m gonna have chemotherapy or radiation or both if I’m just gonna have a lumpectomy or a double mastectomy. I am going to have to have a hysterectomy complete and I’ll not be able to take hormones.


And just for kicks and giggles like we didn’t have enough on our plate already Sunday, February 9. My husband wrecked his race car while we were testing in Augusta, Georgia and completely destroyed it, but he was able to walk away with just a concussion and banged up no broken bones. He wrecked his car at the 330 mark and rolled it 330 more Feet. God saved him, and I am forever grateful. The car he was in had all the safety features that needed and the seat he was in was made just for him, a full containment seat, five point harness, a Hans device and all his safety gear was in use and it saved his life the picture below show up before and after what are about three seconds apart from each other.. The last picture shows the area he was sitting. His helmet was cracked…. The bar inside where his helmet hit was bent. The car rested on the wall like you see.

We would appreciate all the prayers during this time.
