i am absolutely devastated. I had a lumpectomy two years ago on my right breast. Two small leasions 1 x grade 1 and the other a grade 2. 15 sessions of Radiotherapy, now on letrozole. I had my first annual screen last year, all fine. This year I have been called back. Left breast. I spoke to the BCN and she said, the report says. “Area of opaqueness”. I asked if there was any “spiculation” and she said no. She said her view was this was them being over cautious and although couldn’t say it wasn’t anything in her view she didn’t think it was anything.
I have just gone into melt down, I can’t do this again. Anyone else had a re-call? Know what “opaque” means. Any comfort would be so much appreciated. X
And breath my dear. It is good that they are being cautious and from what the nurse is saying they are making sure which is what you would want them to do
The trouble is because you have been through this before it is going to be very scary. When is your appointment?
Sending you loads of hugs, we are all here for you.
Im so sorry you are having to deal with this, once is enough and I completely understand how you must be feeling. There really needs to be a change in how we are dealt with post diagnosis, its barbaric to be recalled and left in suspense again, it’s so cruel and I would be feeling just as you are.
Our logcal minds know full well that this is likely to be nothing to worry about but that’s not much help when you are so scared and anxious.
I wish there was something i could say to help you feel a bit better but we are all here to lean on during this awful wait and we will support you all we can Xx Jo
Hi Patriciamay,
Sorry to hear you’re going through this & nothing more to add than Jo & Helena have said.
I know I’d feel the same way, it’s good it’s being checked out, although you need it like a hole in the head, of course.
Sending hugs

What a relief, PM & so glad to hear all’s ok.
Also, thanks for your insights into the system, as it something we all have to contend with when ‘that’ time of year comes round.
