Hi all.
Just a wee bit of info on my diagnosis.
I was Blue lighted into A and E last November. I had severe left sided pain. After many scans xrays covid test etc. They discovered I had broken a rib. Then found tumours in my lung and a previous fracture on my other rib.
Shocked? Very. Finished treatment in 2015 for breast cancer. Then tamoxifen which hasn't done its job.
I had a lunch biopsy which was done by keyhole but they ended up cutting me to get deeper they found another tumour.
Started Zoladex etc had a Ct scan. Spoke with oncologist on Friday. Still waiting on one biopsy result to see if its HER2. Which he thinks it isn't. Plus one of my wounds opened up. So anti cancer drug delayed for another 6 weeks when I will speak with oncologist again.
Feeling scared frustrated. Still questions to ask.
Thank you fur reading
HI Crispyduck, Sorry to hear your cancer has returned. I always found that waiting for results of any investigations was worse than the actual tests themselves.Being is scared and frustrated has affected us all.
Sadly you are not alone. I joined this site 10 years ago when I was initially diagnosed. I found it really helped, being able to share or even vent with others who are experiencing similar issues. I am now back here again after being diagnosed with recurrence in November.
Fingers crossed you will get all the answers you need in your next conversation with your oncologist. Its amazing how far things have moved in the 5 years since you were last treated, I'm sure you will be offered a plan that will suit you well, just remember its your body and you know it bes
oops, you know it best.
