Where to start anyone else had a local recurrence and change? Secondly had all lymph nodes removed last time but was told will have armpit exploration at same time as mastectomy didn’t ask any questns as I didn’t have any at the time. Just wondering what they’ll be looking for in armpit. Have a lot of pain since biopsy last month have been told Ct scan didn’t show any spread. Hate all the waitg, waiting  for the operation date now Weary

  • Hi Lili72

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you’ve had a recurrence of breast cancer as well as a change to the type of breast cancer. Waiting is the worst thing but hopefully once you get your operation date things will start to look up for you.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your operation when it happens.

    Best wishes

  • Hello Lili72,  I am sorry to hear that you have to go through this again and with a new type of breast cancer.  Good news that it has not spread.  There is lots of research going on and new drugs etc.  This cancer is a real chameleon and changes too.  
    Did you take hormone treatment for your ER positive BC?  I don’t know what they Will explore in your armpit?  Sometimes they can do lumpectomy but don’t know if an option for you.  
    Hope your pain decreases too.
