Ah a gluttony of sleep - after everyone left this morning I went back to bed for another hour and a half!
yes onc did say I could take two and wondered why I hadn’t tried that - ah well you wrote the script for one how was I supposed to know that? And being the good little compliant patient I am I followed instructions3 -
I’ll let everyone know how the 10mg melatonin goes. I was going to try one on Friday incase I get abit of a hangover from it.3

Hey everyone, I had a mammo after I found a lump right at the top of my breast under the collar bone and it showed no other spots. Because it couldn’t be squeezed into the machine, I had an ultrasound which picked up second tumour. Then had torso MRI which showed nothing else, so testing missed everything else even though I don’t have dense breasts. So if the lump hadn’t been palpable and I just had a routine mammo, it would have come back completely clean!
On the news last night they said Aust scientists have developed a blood test to detect all types of cancer at very early stages. It will be ready in 5 years and I can only imagine the huge impact it will have.0 -
My decision to have BMX over lumpectomy was completely supported by all my doctors, though my friends thought it was extreme. The thing that tipped me was my BS saying that bc always comes back and 25% of her patients are recurrent and mostly metastatic.
I have Bipolar Disorder and suffer terribly from anxiety and just felt I wouldn’t be able to cope with the ongoing worry of it returning.
I also felt that unlike Bipolar/anxiety, bc was something I could control, which made BMX an easy decision for me.
My autistic son had a more simplistic logic: if BS says there is a 25% chance of it coming back, cut them off so there’s a 0% chance. Can’t argue with that!0 -
Oh @tigerbeth!! That's shite! I am glad you found a dentist though. So, was it a canine? Being the tiger that you are....

I've been told the opposite - that it's unlikely to come back.

Breast cancer always comes back??? I know plenty of ladies who had bc up to 20 years ago & they’re still going fine....0

Breast cancer always comes back is not what I wanted to see first thing this morning. Sounds like something my EX surgeon would of said.2

@Kiwi Angel it’s rubbish xx0

Two of my sisters-in-law had single mastectomies long ago, with no recurrence - one 50 years ago and the other 62 years ago (yes!. They gave her a little bag of birdseed to put in her bra!); she's recently had a knee replacement and a doctor read her medical history and brought some students in to talk to her about her experience back then.

@JenniA yes my oncologist told me with everything we have done we are looking at my treatment being curative and many women never have recurrence xoxoxo1

@Kiwi Angel I feel it needs to be taken down, because none of us want to read such negativity. I too have been told have been given a positive outcome xx0

@JenniA it was a pretty confronting statement to read first thing this morning
