Help

Hi Im Shirley,
One year has now gone since diagnose, I had, lump removed, FECx6, Rads, and Im on Tamoxifen. Feeling great and almost back to normal. Yesterday I went for my first mammogram, since treatment finished in May. I had mammogram and ultra sound and they have found something again. The doctor isnt sure what it is and said it could be scar tissue. Im having a biopsy on Tuesday again EEk!!! Is there anyone who has had a similar experience too, my head is spinning and Im really worried. I dont want to go through this again so soon!!
Thanks Shirley XX

Hi shirley
I had very similar experience earlier this year. I have quite a hard lump round the excision site but when I went for first mammo dr said I needed a core biopsy just to make 100 per cent sure. It was horrible waiting for result but thankfully was just scar tissue and fatty necrosis (nice). Hope this helpsx x

Thank you guys for contacting me. I have calmed down a little now. this website is wonderful. It has helped me so much during the past year. Just want this week to be over, its the waiting and not knowing, it plays havoc with your head doesnt it? It will soon be Tuesday so fingers crossed.
best wishes Shirley

Good luck for Tuesday Shirley. I have my first annual mammogram in the New Year and dreading it. Hoping your biopsy proves to be just scar tissue.

Hi Everyone,
I have got my results from my biospy and it is scar tissue!! Off to see my ONC for a routine check today. so great relief for me and my family and friends. Its been a stressful long week. my lovely daughter flys over for Christmas next Monday from the UK. We will be celebrating loads. Last year was horrid as I had just started chemo!!
I just wanted to wish EVERYONE on this site, A Happy Peaceful Christmas. I know how hard this time of year can be, when dealing with treatment etc, a very emotional time.
But this site is wonderful, being able to chat with people in the same situation really helps, because they are the only people that really know how you feel!!
My thoughts are with you all, whatever part of your journey you are at. take care everyone thanks again for all the support throughout the year. I will still pop in to chat every now and then.
Best wishes Shirley XXX

Hi Shirley, What fantastic news for you. I hope you have a lovely Christmas too. Time to celebrate now. So pleased for you, Love Val
