Fine needle biopsy suggested 3 years past original treatment mascetomy side
hi all I haven't been on here for a couple of years. I'm 3 years to the day of original diagnosis, lumpectomy then mascetomy expander chemo radio. At my annual 6 month ultrasound/ bloods a what they call suspicious newly found lump has been found only small in mascetomy and node clearance side - first my oncologist said don't worry looks like possibly a cyst then he consulted with original bc surgeon who suggested fine needle. I'm totally freaked out. After all the treatments and trying to return to work neuropathy finally got the better of me. I'm just wondering my oncologist said up to me to biopsy or to wait 3 months have another ultrasound. Over the past 3 years I've had 3 cysts turn up in remaining breast that was suggested to do biopsy but I said no and now they are smaller and not suspicious I'm quietly terrified that this is happening again and I never thought it could reoccur in totally removed side - thoughts / experiences appreciated hugs

Please accept my condolences.
Sending hugs xx<3 - SisterMember@melclarity Not wanting to usurp @Alsopt s thread but I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad. Thinking of you.
- PatsyNMember@Alsopt I've just finished 12 months of treatment, chemo then ops then rads.
I've been told that for at least the next 2 years there's no further treatment they can give me.
I'm full of chemicals and radiation, had no clear nodes anywhere, stage IIIC and was declared clear of cancer 2 months ago. I've been prescribed Arimidex but have no tests for 2 years. It will then be 3 years since diagnosis.
Just like yourself.
I read your posts from 2 years ago. I feel like that now. Did your energy come back in that 2 year period?
Or will I forever feel like 100. - melclarityMember@Alsopt sorry I haven't been on I'm taking a break from the Forum and sadly my Dad died suddenly on sunday, so a very difficult time.
I had a recurrence in the same side however I hadnt had the mastectomy at that point, my recurrence appeared in the same spot as the original. Ive had a Diep flap recon on that side, and am 3yrs post diagnosis and 18 months post surgery. Sorry I cant be of more help, please let us know what transpires. xx Melinda - tigerbethMemberBest of luck , thinking of you , hoping for good news @Alsopt
