Hi I just wanted to share, I had breast cancer 8 years ago

Had a lumpectomy chemo radio therapy and have been on tamoxifen since.

Went for a mammogram about 5 weeks ago and was recalled back as they found something suspicious, same breast.

Went for further mammogram, plus scan plus biopsy and now waiting for results.

Can't believe this is happening again, absolutely devastated Cry 

  • Sorry your going through all the stress and worry again Kippy. Praying you get good news, if it’s what you fear then no you don’t want to go through all the treatment again but you have done it before and came through it. Sorry, easy for someone to say this to you, you don’t want all this again. I have just finished active treatment and continue on letrozole. I will always have this worry at back of my mind. Best wishes x

    Thanks for your kind words Hmfm, so sorry that you are going through this too, we keep trying to be strong but somedays are too overwhelming.

    And the treatment takes so much away from you physically and mentally, when I look back I can't believe it was me that went through that and yet here I am again  probably.

    Stay strong and look after yourself, the key for me is to keep busy and try to be fit and healthy x

  • So sorry to read this. Let us know how you get on and hopefully you may get away without chemo this time (if it is what you think) as things are moving that way for hormone bc in a lot of cases nowadays. Xz

    Thank you Hel39, as soon as I get the results I will post, and yes I don't think I could do chemo again, probably opt for a mastectomy, for peace of mind x
