Finding a breast lump can be scary, but many breast lumps are benign (not cancerous). Common benign conditions include simple cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs, and fibroadenomas, which are benign solid breast tumors.

Imaging such as an ultrasound or mammogram can help determine what a lump may be and whether further evaluation is needed. 🌸

If you notice a new or unusual breast lump, talk with us at The Breast and Wellness Collective. We’re here to help you understand what’s happening and determine the appropriate next steps.

If breast cancer is hormone receptor-positive, the cancer cells may use hormones such as estrogen or progesterone to grow. Endocrine (hormone) therapy helps reduce the effect of these hormones on cancer cells.

Medications such as Tamoxifen can block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells, while aromatase inhibitors reduce the amount of estrogen the body produces after menopause. For many people with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, endocrine therapy can lower the risk of recurrence and may be an important part of treatment. 🌸

Have questions about hormone receptor-positive breast cancer or endocrine therapy? Talk with us at The Breast and Wellness Collective.

A sentinel lymph node biopsy helps determine whether breast cancer cells have spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. During the procedure, surgeons remove the first few lymph nodes that receive drainage from the breast to check for cancer cells.

By focusing on these sentinel nodes, surgeons can often avoid removing more lymph nodes than necessary, which may help reduce the risk of complications such as lymphedema. The results also provide important information that can help guide treatment decisions. 🌸

If you have questions about sentinel lymph node biopsy, let us know.

Radiation therapy is carefully targeted to treat cancer, but side effects can occur.

Common effects during breast radiation may include skin redness, irritation or darkening, and fatigue that can build throughout treatment.

To help care for your skin, wear soft, loose-fitting clothing, stay hydrated, and use only creams, lotions, or barrier products recommended by your radiation oncology team. Gentle skin care and pacing your activities can also help you manage fatigue. 🌸

Side effects vary from person to person. If you notice significant skin changes, discomfort, or worsening fatigue, let your care team know so they can help.

Lymphedema is swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid, which can occur when the lymphatic system is damaged or lymph nodes are removed during treatment.

Symptoms may include swelling, tightness, heaviness, or a feeling of fullness in the arm.

While lymphedema cannot always be prevented, recognizing symptoms early is important. At The Breast and Wellness Collective, we utilize Bioimpedance Spectroscopy to evaluate, monitor and detect the earliest stages of lymphedema (sub-clinical lymphedema) so you can get the best treatment possible while it is still reversible.

Working with a certified lymphedema therapist, using compression when recommended, and incorporating appropriate movement and exercise may help manage symptoms and support lymphatic function. 🌸

If you notice new or persistent swelling after breast surgery or treatment, talk to us!

DCIS stands for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ and is often described as non-invasive or Stage 0 breast cancer. It occurs when abnormal cells are found within the milk ducts and have not invaded the surrounding breast tissue.

DCIS is considered an early form of breast cancer, and treatment can help reduce the risk of it becoming invasive. Treatment options vary depending on the individual and may include surgery, radiation, and/or hormone therapy.

Understanding your diagnosis and treatment options can help you make informed decisions with our team. 🌸

Breast cancer treatment can affect more than your physical health. Surgery, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy may contribute to changes in your body, vaginal dryness, changes in libido, or concerns about body image and intimacy.

Your sexual health is an important part of your overall well-being, and you don’t have to navigate these changes alone. Options such as lubricants or moisturizers, pelvic floor physical therapy, and counseling may help, depending on your individual needs. 🌸

If intimacy or sexual health has changed after breast cancer treatment, talk with us at The Breast and Wellness Collective. We’re here to provide compassionate support and help you explore options that fit your needs. 🌸

A breast cancer diagnosis during pregnancy can bring many questions and concerns. Care typically involves a multidisciplinary team working together to consider both cancer treatment and the health of the developing baby.

Some diagnostic tests and treatments may be possible during pregnancy, depending on the type and stage of breast cancer and how far along the pregnancy is.

Certain chemotherapy regimens may be used during the second and third trimesters, while other treatments are generally postponed until after delivery. 🌸

Every situation is different. Talk with us at The Breast and Wellness Collective to learn more about your diagnosis, treatment options, and the questions you may want to discuss with your care team!
