I have been diagnosised with cancer again in the same place. I last had cancer 2012 sept and following a mammogram in Oct another lump was found. I’ve had a ct scan which is clear and after the initial joy of that, I now feel very low. I’m having a single mx on Monday and what with xmas and two young children I’m now stating to feel overwhelmed.
It doesn’t help that I feel in limbo as I’ve been through it before, but it’s not spread. Everything I look up re having cancer again talks about secondary cancer. I also feel embarrassed that I have the cancer again because I was just getting my life back together, looking at getting a new job in the new year and this happens. I don’t want to go through all that again telling people so that the only topic of conversation is cancer related, I don’t know what to do, just take it one day at a time again.
Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I had my 2nd year routine mammogram and ultrasound and cancer was found in an axillary node (which was originally node negative). After CT and Bone scan which came back clear, I had an axillary clearance 2 weeks ago and was told 3 nodes out of 20 tested positive. I’ve been told I need chemo again in January. I’m worried about what this will do to me second time round. And I don’t want to have to explain to everyone all over again. I’m now 35 xx
Grace B how are you getting on? I was diagnosed in 2013 with DCIS and told caught v early, good prognosis etc etc had mastectomy as it was extensive…anyway fast forward to today just been told I have grade 3 invasive in the same Breast (well reconstructed breast).3% chance of that happening. I have to wait til Friday to get more info on it. I’m also 34 weeks pregnant and scared **bleep**less. All I find on Internet looks bleak…
