SuzyG OMG!!! I can only imagine how you would be feeling!!! Ive been through a recurrence and I know for me how cheated I felt after being vigilant with aggressive treatment for what I had.

I didn't, so fortunately it was only in the previous scar tissue of the previous diagnosis.

I think I look at it now that with previous treatment, maybe it didnt work for my breast but the meds quite possibly helped the rest of me. Suzy, can you ask for your full body scans to be done pre your Mastectomy? so then you have all the information you need. Hugs Melinda xo
