Possible reoccurrence... for the past 2 and a half weeks I've had pain in my right breast and I think I can feel something like before (stage 1 breast cancer on the leftt side found in July 2024 but not confirmed till the November and ended in mastectomy May 2025) my BCN knows, my anxiety is really bad, I have an appointment with my surgeon on 22nd January but right now that feels forever!

  • Hi Supermeg90

    I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you are worried about a possible recurrence of your breast cancer.  I'm not surprised that your anxiety is bad at  the moment.  I know you feel that your appointment is a long way away at the moment, but you'd be surprised at how fast it comes upon you.  Try to keep yourself busy to pass the time.  Do something that you love to do and treat yourself to something nice while you wait as it can help having something to look forward to.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment.

    Best wishes

  • Hi. Are you on any medication following last years diagnosis? Did you have chemo and radiotherapy?
    Don’t forget the drugs are providing a high level of protection. I also worry about my other breast but oncologist said there is no immediate risk this is probably 5 years time risk as we now know that cancer cells are pre cancerous for a year before they develop into full cancer.
