Just found out today that the nodes which my oncologist was confident were nothing are positive for cancer. I am de- astated. No pathology back yet likely back on Thursday, will also need a PET scan. I had lobular, did chemo in '22 and have been working on reconstruction with DIEP since '23. Had my 2nd fat grafting in May and thought these nodes were in response to inflammation from the surgery. I am in total shock. I just responded to someone with a recurrence just a few days ago!
This is a horrible disease! I thought I was doing so well. Any support or advice much welcomed in these early days.

@Vissdoc I’m so sorry it has come back.
It was a total shock to me last year when mine came back too after just over 3 years.
Sending you hugs and lots of love 
@Vissdoc, that’s so tough. I’m very sorry to hear it. I’m three years on from my second primary diagnosis and feeling positive but had some dark days. It’s such a shock to get it again and even though you know you can get through it, it is different. You will find your way, just as you did before. You are not alone. I found just talking to someone who had had it twice through Breast Cancer Now’s someone like me service was really helpful. Hugs and love Lisa x

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m still in the anger and bewildered stage, waiting on results. When I had just sent words of encouragement to another member, I never thought a few days later I’d be in the same place. How life changes in an instant. Thanks again.
Yes, the same time frame, 3 years. Thank you for the support. I am still numb and not believing this is true. I guess it’s the anger and denial stage. I don’t know any one who had a recurrence so I appreciate your words.
