Wondering if this will ever be over

@SuzyG, I can hear your frustration and loss of faith in the system. However I am wondering if the Cancer in your breast is not being picked up due to dense breast tissue? Have they done an MRI which is much better at detecting the cancer in dense breast tissue?
Unfortunately the scans etc can only detect cancer once it is a certain size, so very small areas are pretty much impossible to find. It is frustrating but it sounds like your team are continuing to check which is going to lead to your best outcome eventually. It is such a long process and doubly difficult when things keep changing or additional treatment/surgery is needed. Chanel is right when she says to just focus on the best possible outcomes. That is what your medical team are checking and rechecking for. Sending hugs and strength. xxx
