Hi everyone,
I haven't posted for a while but usually only post on this site. History is DX 2010 with ILC, mastectomy and node clearence, DX secondaries to bone, tamoxifen zometa, met to ovary, hystectomy and chemo, arimidex since last September. About four weeks ago I felt small lump on my mastectomy scar, saw Consultant who at first said there was hardly anything there but after biopsy and seeing him again he said there was a few cancer cells there. He said treatment would be a change of tablets or a one day operation to remove it. However looking on the internet at all the tumour marker tests he's sent me for has struck panic in me. Is it normal to have so many marker tests, Cae, Ca125, CA57.8 (I think). The last scan I had was April and my Oncologist was happy with that, no spread in bones, nothing elsewhere. I'm feeling really scared and can't get hold of my breast care nurse to discuss it. Couldn't go into work today because I'm feeling so frightened. Has anyone else had all these tests after a recurrence or anything else? Your comments would be much appreciated.
