New to Breast Cancer Journey

Last year I had a biopsy on my breast done. He didn't do biopsy correctly at all. Didn't leave a marker. Told me to use evening primrose oil. That was July 2025.

May 2026 I had another biopsy done and was told June 1. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Her2+. Right breast. Possibly lymph node. I'm devastated.

The lump has been growing for a year, and I believed the first Dr. I feel stupid, angry, alone, and confused with all the information.

  1. Hi , sending (((hugs))), love and light. The fault doesn't lie with you. We trust doctors to have our best interests at heart, and it is devastating if we find their assessment was flawed. Have you discussed a path forward with your new team? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  2. I need help i need peace. Im new to the group. I wanna know what to do and how to handle it. I wanna live.
