Hi there all,🙏🙏 ,  I am wondering if anyone here have heard of or have had electrochemotherapy??   I have locally advanced breast cancer in the skin and I have heard/ read that electrochemotherapy is now a new, apparently relatively successful treatment for that.  It was developed in Europe and is used in some hospitals in the UK.  I also know Peter MaCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne have done some treatments with this method.  It is a local treatment, so you don’t get all the side effect of chemotherapy.  I am just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this type of treatment.  I would really appreciate some information regarding its possibilities.  Thanks.🙏  ...

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone out there have had breast cancer returning in the skin!!!   I had a mastectomy and sentinel node removed 10 years ago.  A year ago the scar from the sentinel node removal started itching.  My GP sent me for an Ultra Sound.  Nothing showing !  6 months later small itchy pimple size lumps had developed.  US again, but nothing showing!  1 year later the lumps are a little bigger and I see my doctor at the Outpatient Surgery at the Hospital. They are not concerned but I want to know what is making these lumps in my armpit, so they do a biopsy and find "small nests of hormone positive breast cancer cells".   They suggest a full on radiation and chemo treatment but I am not ready for that yet!!!  As I generally feel really good.  Now I have also noticed thickening of the skin on my chest wall.   My doctors have said this is uncommon and therefore not easily picked up by them.  I would love to hear from anyone who has some experience with this. Thanks in advance😀  Ginny ... View more
