I am getting more worried about my new lump in other breast now as I have mamo and ultrasound on Friday and see the big boss of breasts surgeon also on Friday for his thoughts but I am going to reilliterate to him I want a PET or MRI or something to check me all over so I can just get on with life and stop worrying about these couple of little things but as Friday comes closer I am getting more worried that I have contralateral breast cancer in my other breast now and studies say survival when contralateral is within 2years of original primary. Anger your odds are even less favourable. I just wish they would hurry up as I just can't take all this and I soooooo want it to just be hormone pain but it like the first cancer has a vein going to it that I can see so it's extra worrisome for me. I don't think my husband Could take another blow like this but I'm sure we would make it through just for the sake of making it through as that's been our whole lives, scraping and clawing for life and every dollar just to have some form of existence but always together. I'm sure the surgeon will say he wants to take the other breast now when they wouldn't take it in the first place and I'm not sure how I feel about having NO breasts?? I just haven't thought about it, even if it lowered the risk, I'm just not thinking that as they told me there wasn't much higher risk by having it??... something I may have to think hard on although if he says it should go then I guess it should go. At least I won't look lop sided without my prosthesis on lol.
