I had Stage zero breast cancer in my right breast in 2017 had a double mastectomy I had a general surgeon remove them never saw an oncologist she never put me on preventive medicine or had me do check ups. She said I will be fine never had radiation or chemo therapy went on my merry way now I started having shoulder pain in 2018 but i thought it was a rotator cuff problem had an MRI done a month ago and have two tumors on my shoulder bone. My orthopedic surgeon put a metal rod in my arm because of the weakness of the bone I could not use my arm at all I had a pet scan done showed that was no disease throughout my body only my shoulder which is good he did a biopsy it came back that it is Mets bone cancer. I’m meeting with my oncologist on Tuesday morning to find out the severity of it and a treatment plan to go forward.
Is there anyone out there that has survived this for more than a couple of years I know it’s hard to tell how long you have everyone’s different but I would like to see that somebody has lasted 10 to 14 years and not 2 to 5 yes I’m scared but everybody keeps saying don’t look at this as a death sentence you can get through this you will just always be a cancer patient
