Now again on same side again but have found lump on just below my rib and also hard lump on rib I have had a CT scan and awaitng bone scan also I have to have a cardio assesment as found my heart is enlarged and they said chest xray showed changes to my left lung. Have not had the Her2 results yet but seeing consultant next Wednesday.
As I had radiotherapy last time will I have to have it again I know I will beat it but just woundering what I will be faceing this time thank you
hi
welcome to the online community, sorry you've had to come and find us
I'm not sure about radiotherapy, I didn't have it but I'm sure I read that you can't have it twice in the same place, I'm not sure why that is.
How long since you had the lumpectomy and radio ?
