Hi. Recurrence of breast cancer

Hi, I am so sorry you are having all this anxiety and uncertainty again and I hope your lump on your scar tissue isn’t a local recurrence. Dr Liz O’Riodan( a breast surgeon who has had breast cancer) has had a local recurrence on her breast cancer scar and her cancer was again removed and was not metastatic grade 4. We all get anxious about our mammogram but it is the distant recurrence of our breast cancers that presently is unlikely to be cured but can be treated. Dr O’Riodan has videos on You tube if you wanted to look at them. Treatment for breast cancer is sh.t but we endure it because we have no option. Have you phoned the breast cancer nurses to see if they can get you a sooner appointment, I am sure they will be sympathetic. Hoping this waiting is over soon. 

Love Dr Liz O’Riodan.  Subscribed and watch her on YouTube.  So informative and down to earth.  I live in Florida and just think she is super.  

Oh so sorry to hear that you are going through all this waiting and stress again.  Hoping the biopsy will be ok and always praying for the best.  We are all here for you and can understand all the emotional roller coaster.  Hugs to you.

Sorry to hear that you are facing breast cancer again.

Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment at the breast clinic.

Best wishes

Keep positive it may be not be cancer

Hello there,

So sorry you find yourself in this situation.

I had a local recurrence last year whilst still on my herceptin treatment. I had triple positive BC initially but the 2 new growths of 5mm and 1mm were oestrogen and HER2..The tests and waiting was horrible and quite prolonged.

I have since had a mastectomy, I'm 60 and for me, I was just glad to have the breast removed and so I didn't find it traumatic  .This is obviously different for each person. I haven't been offered further chemotherapy but have had my oestrogen inhibitor changed with a few side effects initially but these have now all settled..

I really hope that your all results all come back negative and you don't require any more treatment .

Lots of love and hugs to you while you wait xxx
