12 months scans today
Feeling sick in my stomach as I head to Melbourne for 3D mammo and US today and appointment with my surgeon- 12 month check up.... when does the dread of recurrence disappear?

- AskaMemberAnd just like that, confirmed today that I am 12 months cancer free!!
- AskaMemberThanks girls for the support. My husband drove last week, this time I'm taking train the night before and hanging out with my son who now lives in Melbourne.
I qualify for an MRI as I was less than 50 at time if diagnosis, and my breast tissue is dense. I'm glad for this as I had lobular, which can be easily missed on mammogram and US. - GinGinMember@Aska, I had the 3D mammogram and US just after chemo. And my surgeon says after that it will be on an annual basis from around my diagnosis date. Out of curiosity, why do you need to have MRI?Hope you take some time out to treat yourself to a nice lunch in Melbourne 😊.
- arpieMemberIt's all good to have these scans on record - as they give them something to compare to NEXT time, in case there IS a change!! ;) take care
- June1952MemberHi @Aska. Good to hear that your day went OK. Damn, back to Melbourne - one of the minuses of living outside the city so medical services are not great. Are you on a train line or do you drive ? We are fortunate to have the trains which is far easier than driving - that is, IF the trains are not being replaced with buses which can double the journey time. This disease mucks with the emotions more than the body at times. We will be thinking of you on Monday. 💖
- AskaMemberOh June, thank you. It was such an emotionally draining day. Mammo and US ok, but I also now qualify for an MRI as part of my screening so back to Melbourne again on Monday. Xx
