Call back
Hello ladies.Well I am nearly at the 5 year mark and have just received a call back on my mammogram.Has anyone had a recurrence after a mastectomy and chemo,in the other breast? I know I'm reading too...
Hi @Robynw,
i too had a recurrence, but it was the same breast and not a new cancer in the other breast. As you probably know the chances of that are pretty small. However statistics won’t help you when you are worrying. All we want is to have it confirmed that there is nothing wrong. It’s awful you have to wait 4 weeks. I guess on a positive note if they were really worried they might get you in earlier. Fingers crossed it is nothing, but if it is the worst, you can still be fine. I went through the dreaded chemo twice, and whilst I wouldn’t recommend it, it was doable. Sending you much love.
