how soon can breast cancer recur

Thanks Nikki, my father in law had his MRI and bone scan. Now the dreaded wait for results! x

Hi powergen
I have been reading through all the posts on here and have to say that if you are in any doubt at all. Go back and tell them that you want a biopsy done.

I originally found my lump back in May 2006 and was told that there was nothing there and that i was parnoid. In the end the lump was diagnosed in May 2007 measuring 7.5cm in diametre.

You know your body better than anyone. Go with what your instinct tells you.

hya everyone i have just been reading all the posts and i wish you all well but does anyone know if cancer can return after hormone treatment. had lumpectomy last june and radiotherapy i didnt have chemo as my lump was only 9mm big and no lymph node involvement although it was grade 3 aggressive my onc thought that if i was put through the menopause which i had radiation on my ovaries and now on arimidex its a good chance it wouldnt return. i am paranoid all the time and always checking myself and think that if it did come back it wouldn’t be related to my hormones it would be something else is this so? i’m not sure is breast camcer always because of hormones? xx
