Hi all, bit of a story, aged 69, retired 2 years ago. Got recurrent breast cancer after 33 years in 2023, same breast, same place, no spread so had a mastectomy. Last year diagnosed with Lung cancer, a primary tumour unrelated to the breast. Found out that this Tumour was there when had tests for bc but was dismissed as nothing, I didn't know about this at the time. Due to grade 3 emphysema could only have a wedge cut out of my lung. Anyway just an isolated tumour easy to remove but many adhesions were found on my lung caused by radiotherapy 33 years ago! The surgeon did a partial decortication of my lung, and for the past year my breathing has improved considerably, that is the good news. The surgeon mentioned that he is confident he got a clear margin but not 100% sure. 3 monthly scans showed a nodule on the stitch line which hasn't moved in size. The most recent showed a nodule on the other lung so off for a petscan today. Exactly a year since my surgery, sigh... Here we go again!
