Hi anyone out there had another lump in same breast so quickly. i had lumpectomy etc plus lode removal 4x4 chemo & rads last year. Feel bad still from chemo. Had mammo but Dr couldn’t see anything now waiting for ultrasound, but am in Spain where I’m not too sure if they know what they doing!!!
hello magel
I’m in almost the same boat as you - having a scan tomorrow. Can’t have mammogram because I had mastectomy 13 years ago - this is lump number 3, same breast. Pinning my hopes on it being rads damage, but wetting myself all the same!
I found second lump last year, had WLE, chemo and rads (had axillary clearance with mastectomy) and was feeling pretty good apart from letrozols SEs. ho hum
I wish you luck - let me know how you get along. From what I’ve heard the spanish hosps are as good as NHS, - some are better than others, and of course you might have the language barrier to deal with. I’ll be thinking of you

Hi Monica,
I have only just read this and didn’t know you have found another lump, you will have had your scan yesterday and i hope if you know anything it has turned out alright for you, that is what i will keep my fingers crossed for anyway.
I really feel for you as you know this is my 4th time now and it doesnt get any better, due to start chemo no4 in 3 wks time.
It is a terrible shock when you find a lump the first time never mind the 3rd and 4th time, you just seem to feel it will never get any better and you lose your feelgood factor.
Please let us know how you got on i will be thinking about you till you do.
love reneexx
Hello Renee
feeling very fortunate right now - my lump is just tissue damaged by rads so all OK. Guess its just about getting used to scares again…
how are you doing - I got a little taste of the fear of a third diagnosis, you must get really disheartened sometimes honey - and chemo a fourth time - bloody hell!
I hope it goes well, will you let me know?
I’ll be thinking of you
love, monica xxx
Hi. I’ve never posted anything on any forum before, but I have just joined and symapathise with what I have read from you all. I’m at home after an operation to remove a lump in my left breast last week - won’t know the results until next Tuesday. Two years ago, I had three operations and radiotherapy to my right one, but was lucky to avoid chemo that time. I may not be so lucky this time!
It was a shock when I found this lump, but the hospital were very good and tested every inch of me with bone scans and CT scans.
It’s good to know that I am not alone in getting two lumps!.

Hi Monica,
Thanks for letting us know how you got on you must be so relieved
Iv’e got to the stage where any lump i find now i know is cancerous,
thats me now i am a killjoy but you start to lose faith in everything
when things just keep going bad for you.
I will be starting chemo (carboplatin) on 17th august, i am still on the triple-neg trial, the docataxol didn’t do it for me so here’s hoping this one will be a little bit better.
I have had my pain meds doubled in the last couple of weeks so i am very very tired most of the time, suppose it takes a bit of ajusting to things.
I had a long day to-day went to the docs for follow-up, then rushed home for funeral of a 24yr old not sure what she died of heard it was depression related but did not want to ask anymore about it.
I kept thinking my god you don’t know what is round the corner the very thought of burying one of your children must be so heartbreaking
i thought i have done not to badly i will be 50 in december, i know you can’t look at it that way but you know what i mean,my kids were only 8 + 6 first time round and i know your kids were near the same age when you were first dx, praying that they woulg get old enough to look after themselves.
What about you Monica, i have prattled on and on and i only wanted you to know that i am pleased for you and i hope it never comes back, but your life will be tainted with it just the same cause every little pain will set you of worrying again.
How are you doing emotionally, i remember in one of your posts that you sounded a bit down with one thing or another, i hope you have that side of things back on track again.
Nice to hear from you
Lots of love
Reneexx
