So yet another update, breast cancer recurrence after 8 years, need a mastectomy just been for the results of ct scan and apparently they found something in my uterus, absolutely devastated, obviously thinking the worse, so yet another wait for an ultrasound then waiting for the results, I just feel like its so cruel that we have to go through this process of one test then another etc.
I know they have to be thorough and they are doing the best for me but I am finding it all so overwhelming, I feel like my whole world is crashing around me, and the worse thing is telling my children seeing them so upset
I honestly feel like jumping in the car and driving away, I know I can't but my head is telling me to
I consider myself a strong person but I can't seem to get a handle on it this time, really struggling
Sorry to hear this Kippy! Of course you’re worried; but you never know, it could just be a polyp, a fybriod; or something on your uterus, there’s always hope! A friend of mine had a BC recurrence after a few years following a lumpectomy and ended up having a mastectomy the second time. She’s now doing well 10 years on (she did say she wished she’d gone with the mastectomy first time around), but hey, nobody really wants a mastectomy if they can avoid it. I had one and it saved me, it’ll save you too! Take heart and stay as positive as you can….. lots of love and hugs to you xxxx
