Hi, I havn’t been on line for a while have been doing well, diagnosed oct 05, been back at fulltime work doing well, had WLE, Rads, Tamoxifen and now Armidex, have recently found lump on original breast but it’s like a long thin line? also one above scar and one on lymph node removal at end of the scar, this one is really painful and round, called BC Nurse today and she say she will speak to Consultant, really worried but keep telling myself that the long thin one at least cannot be recurrance could it, would it not be round? any advise would be much appreciated as I am terrified it could be back, sorry for moaning but coped well first time round and just keep hoping it isn’t cos feel I will fall apart. Also just be diagnosed with irregular heartbeat and getting kidney infections every month??

Thankyou in advance

Hi Rowlaine - I know how you are feeling. I originally had BC in 2006, had a mastectomy , rads and tamoxifen which I am still on. I had a breast reconstruction in 2007 and last week I found a small lump just above the reconstruction scar. I am absolutely terrified of it returning and have been feeling sick ever since I found it and everytime I keep feeling it. I am getting it checked on Monday.

Let me know how you go.

I am thinking of you and sending you a big hug.
