I just want to share my experience, I have frequented this sub occasionally since my diagnosis. I am a 37y old single gay man. Apparently breast cancer in men my age is incredibly rare. Just bad luck I suppose as there was nothing striking on the genetic tests. I was diagnosed in Nov 22. Since
I HAVE ACHIEVED PCR!!!!!!! I had my lumpectomy on Monday morning and the pathology just came back this afternoon. All margins clear, all lymph nodes clear. I was diagnosed in February at age 36 with TNBC, Stage IIB, and a Ki-67 of >90%. I joined the SCARLET clinical trial and did 6 rounds of Key
Hey everyone, It’s been just over three months since my father passed away, in April 2025. I feel like I’ve only now finally processed enough of the initial grief to put it all together. I’m sharing his story from the beginning to the end to honor him and in the hope that it can be useful to othe
I’m not asking for anything specific. I feel like I am all alone and that my experience with breast cancer is so different from others’. I feel so isolated and hopeless. I’m 51 and was in good shape and otherwise healthy when diagnosed with IDC hormone negative HER2 positive in late June. Small pri
Yesterday I was convinced that I will not need chemo due to what my surgical oncologist told me... she said if I'm HER2 negative (which I am) and if they find no lymph node involvement after surgery/SLNB (also true for me) then I can skip chemo and move directly to radiation and hormone therapy. But

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading this subreddit for a while but finally decided to post. My dad is 59 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer about two years ago. It had already spread to his bones when they found it (de novo metastatic). He started with androgen deprivation therapy, which worked for
At my wife's job in an infusion center, she mixes chemotherapy drugs like Taxol, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, and cytoxin. She does the mixing under a fume hood, wearing a gown and gloves. There is no separation in her mixing room between the chemo drugs and the rheumatology drugs. The room is not negati

# I am going to divide my post in two parts - 1) The sunscreens which I have used but didn't like and 2) My favourite sunscreens. ​ **The first part (this contains many good sunscreens which I like but don't use because I do not like anhydrous silicone sunscreens anymore and I will explai
Before the start of this year, I was feeling pretty unsatisfied with how I physically felt so I decided it was time to fix that. I was probably 20% body fat at the start (InBody showed 17% but I'm skeptical of that reading, personally) and set a goal for 8% by June. Wanted to get back in shape for m

UPDATE: So aside from all of Food Babe's logical fallacies and insufficient/irrelevant evidence, I did some more of my own research and found some detailed scientific evidence, which Food Babe never provided (one of her cited sources [16] briefly and very generally alluded to some of the findings in
