MY name is Heng and my mum's been diagnosed with cancer. Her first diagnosis was in 2003, its re-occured again in 2012 and at the moment she's still going through possible further radio or chemo trea...
Sorry to hear about your mum getting breast cancer again.A similar thing happened to me.I had a lumpectomy and radiation for breast cancer back in 2003.In 2010 it came back in the same breast,same spot. So I had to have a mastectomy of the left breast,followed by chemotherapy,then onto Tamoxifen for 5 years.Since the last operation,I have a constant discomfort across my chest scar -feels like sticky tape across my chest and it's pulling. My surgeon says it's adhesions cos I lost skin elasticity from radiation.I'm not sure if this is what your mum has? Blog here anytime for help and support -you are a thoughtful daughter and a comfort to your mum,I'm sure.Look after yourself as well.
