I was diagnosed 2 years ago and told that my cancer treatment would be fairly straight forward - i had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy only. Now I’ve just been for my 2nd routine post-BC mammogram and I’ve been called back for further testing next week. The letter took three and a half weeks to come and I’d almost forgotten about it. I am now sick with worry - does this mean the cancer has come back? What will my prognosis be? what treatment will I be able to have? My daughter is in the middle of her A level exams and I feel I can’t talk about any of this for her sake, although I’ve told my husband and son. My biggest fear is that the nightmare is just beginning again and I thought I was free and clear. I would be so grateful if anyone with a similar experience could reply.
