Hi, my name is Breastcancersupport. I'm here to share how I try to support those going through breast cancer, inspired by my deep commitment to creating a safe and supportive space. Having seen the emotional and physical toll cancer takes on people, my goal is to offer a community where everyone feels heard, understood, and uplifted.
I believe that together we can create an atmosphere where each member not only finds valuable information but also a sense of belonging, hope, and strength. Whether it's through sharing personal experiences, offering resources, or just being there to listen, I am dedicated to helping in any way I can.
Looking forward to connecting and growing together.

When it rains it pours…

I have suffered from depression for years now and life just feels like it continues to get worse and worse as I move along. My marriage isn’t going well, the things I love to do I don’t have passion about anymore and today I just found out my 83 year old grandmother who has always been healthy has breast cancer. I just can’t seem to catch a break. When will things get better or will they just continue to get worse.

Breast Implant Illness, or BII

Has anyone here been diagnosed with BII? In 2010, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and because I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the early 90’s, I opted for a double mastectomy. My insurance covered reconstructive surgery, so I got silicone implants. While I’d already been diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years before the BC diagnosis, the symptoms seem so much worse the past couple years, which now include daily headaches (among other things).

It has made me wonder if I may have BII, but unfortunately there isn’t a test that confirms one way or the other. The only solution is to have them removed. I’m hoping to talk to someone else that has dealt with this, as I really don’t know what to do. It could just be my fibromyalgia getting worse, right? How could I know? Hoping someone here knows something.

Thanks for reading.
