Yesterday finally got up the courage to ask for the reconstruction of my left breast. Was told there was a particular surgeon that specialised in it. I was really excited. Then I had my yearly mammogram it was the third after being cleared three years ago.
my breast has changed shape ever so slightly since treatment and last year I was assured it was my body settling in. This time though they are hopping around trying to get a definite answer as the scar tissue has increased and they are trying to determine if it is cancer again. I know that my emotions have been up and down the last 6 months just like before the first time. So I have a really bad sinking feeling about this.
I’m going in for an MRI scan next week as this helps to show cancer better when it’s next to scar tissue.
although it will only be a very small tumour again I worried that if it was still there after all of the last treatment, how likely is it to have spread.
feeling really down at he moment. Just thought I’d conquered it.
hugs to anyone out there who is in the same vote.
on the plus side I’m going to insist on reconstruction this time straight away as finding a bloody bra to fit after a lumpectomy on one side is an arse ache. Xx
Bless you yellowdaffodil,
I am waiting on an urgent MRI at the moment too. Could it be thickening from the radiotherapy possibly? I know that I had this?
I wish you all the best and have my fingers crossed that it is just that.

It could be. I don’t think it’s anything to do with the scarring as a letter to my doctor said it was in a different place. 
It’s the radiotherapy that’s made it happen.
hope your MRI goes ok and it’s clear.
