look up mandarin ducks! they’re amazing!

Here’s a picture of my cat who is fed up with my bullshit and a picture of my dog who is trying to convince me he’s smart.

Thank you for your words. Cancer survivors are badass people :)

Just went for a check up after removing a lump that turned out to be cancer, nothing was found in the lymphnodes and i got the all clear a couple of days ago. Its scary as hell, but can be lots of different things and the treatment was actually less scary then waiting. I found great comfort in fb-group for women with…

I’ve had abnormal mammograms that ended up being nothing. They did ultrasounds that day (thank you Air Force) and I guess I just have lumpy boobs? I will be thinking happy healing thoughts because I’m not a praying person and I can’t send sandwiches or cookies. If it turns out to be something, I will send you all the…

I had a screening mammo that showed some small abnormalities. So, like you I had to go for an ultrasound and a diagnostic, both of which showed nothing but cysts. I was working at the hospital where I had the mammo at the time and the doc knew me. She took one look at the diagnostic and said, “See you in a year. And…

did you know ducks could be so vibrant? just learnt about the wood duck this week. i have no experience in this except to say, i’m sorry you’re going through this and you’re stronger than you know.

I am so sorry this is happening to you! Just remember you are in the early stages of diagnoses where it all can turn out to be nothing.

I love this photo because it captures her glee lol.

I’m sorry you are going through this. If it helps, the most common form of breast cancer is also the most treatable.

I am a man, I have always been depressed. If you want to talk I will do my best to be there for you.

I wish I had something concrete and comforting to offer. I literally gasped when I saw your post, because it really does feel like a community here. With that said, please remember that it IS a community here- and you have an army of badass feminists pulling for you.

When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer my friend said: don’t panic until the doctor says there is something to panic about. That phrase has carried me through life. Every time I felt like I was spiraling down I repeated to myself: don’t panic until the doctor says....etc. It really helped. I hope it helps you…

I’m sorry. I’m 2 1/2 years out. Tamoxifen is giving me hot flashes like you wouldn’t believe. Both breasts. 2 different cancers. Radiation, pain after surgery and lymphedema were the worst. But they gave me some great drugs and I got to take some time off work. The treatments are getting easier and easier. And you…

No advice sorry, but gifs and hugs to you

I went in for a diagnostic because there was a distinct bulge in my right armpit. Mammo saw nothing. Ultrasound saw ... nothing. Like, the bulge is externally visible, but apparently it’s just the shape of my armpit because 3 doctors looked and there’s nothing IN there.

So, I might have breast cancer. That’s a thing that might be happening. An irregularity was found in my right breast during a screening mammogram this week and next Thursday I need to go back for a diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound and family risk assessment. My sister had breast cancer twice in her 20s, so the threat…
