Hello everyone. I am thinking of you all going through a rough time at the moment xxx
I am just reflecting on things today and keep seeing lots of things online about ER positive cancers coming back years later. It is worrying me even though I am doing everything I can to reduce recurrence.
Just wondering if anyone can provide hope that may be 10 plus years out. My auntie had estrogen positive cancer and it came back 10 years later when she came off tamoxifen. This was a very long time ago and she didn’t have aromatase inhibitor, zoladex or Zoldronic acid so obviously there are a lot of factors to take into account.
I do a lot of research and I just cannot understand why a cancer would come back in another part of the body when it has been removed from the primary place and the body has been rinsed with chemo although studies say some fragments of cancer can hide in the bone marrow where they are undetected and treatments can’t reach it.
Sorry just feeling a little anxious today and speaking out loud with my thoughts. I guess I need to read less on the internet as it scares me.
