Hi, hoping for other peoples experiences of this.
I had a CT scan following my mascectomy (previously had one 7 months ago) it found a small change in my lung a few mm. Oncologist has said its likely from an infection following surgery and rescan in 8 weeks.
Has anyone else had something similar and it been OK? Feeling scared and worried while I wait!
Hi I have exactly the same I had mastectomy in Feb followed by radiotherapy and ct showed small lesion on right lung. I do have copd and have been told before my breast cancer about the lesion although they say its not connected and hasn't grown I do understand your worry. Mine they say is likely to be scarring from infections too. I'm sure we will be fine but I know exactly how your feeling so sending you big hugs Mandy x
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've just been booked in for my next CT next friday. SCANXIETY is real. lets hope it works out for us both.
Hey we got this my friend hope all goes well I see my oncologist on 7th so will know more then. Xx
Hello, just wanted to share a test that is used to see if there is residual disease from breast cancer in your body. It is being used more and more here in the USA and it is called Signatera. Can be used for all solid tumors. Here is the link. Easy test as it is a blood sample and then a tissue sample from the cancer is sent and results to oncologist. https://www.natera.com/oncology/signatera-advanced-cancer-detection/patients/signatera-for-breast-cancer/
Take care and hope all goes well.
I It is so hot here in Florida that feel like I am all baked. Praying for some rain and cooler weather but cooler weather is months away. Thank God for air conditioning!!
