Flora how did you get on?

Sorry Dawn, I misled you. It's next Mon I go to hosp. My first tumour was tubular and the recurrence was 2 lobular and 2 DCIS. Quite a mixture!! I'll keep you posted. FX

Hi Flora,

Will be thinking of you tomorrow and looking out for your news. You have had a dreadful year and I really hope that this is not the recurrence you fear. I understand what you are going through as I had similar story with a first bc in 1990, then recurrence in same breast in 1996, then the other breast in 1998..... etc. but am still here. Was your previous tumour lobular? It sounds very much like the way it behaves. It is good you have told your OH and he will be able to come with you tomorrow. Best of luck.

Dawn

Hi Lulu and Nannabarb,
I've got an app for next Monday. I did tell my husband yesterday and he is very supportive. He said he'd come with me, so all is well at the moment. I'll let you know how I get on.

oh Flora sorry to hear you have this worry.... im sure your hubby would rather know you had this concern and werent worrying all on your own.... also if it was the worst news he would be more prepared than it coming out the blue but you have to do whats right for you.... please let us know how you get on at your appt though.

I had grade 1 in 1993 and rads. Then a local recurrence in right breast in 2005. I had a mastectomy and delayed recon. I've now discovered a lump in my left breast. I've called the breast clinic and I'm waiting for an appointment. I'm in that dreadful phase of 'not knowing'. Not knowing if I should be worried ( although I am) not knowing if I should tell anyone, as I feel rather silly if it's nothing. We have had a dreadful year. My mum died of Ca kidney after a really short illness in July and I nursed her at home. My husband is very stressed at work and I don't want to cause him unecessary worry. At this stage I certainly don't want to tell my boys. Oh dear, I hate this stage so much!!
Good to be able to visit here again after all these years and to know that there is still a sounding board. 🙂
