hi @Shorelle
Lets do a pep talk .... pull those big girl panties up and get in and get it checked out the sooner the better you do know that ....
Now come here and have a cuddle and a bit of a sook.... sending you energy to be brave and go and see the GP or Onco etc and get whatever needs to be done to rule our recurrence
I dont have the experience of the expanders but I know @primek has that experience so I know she and others will respond regarding those.....
Breathing could be laboured because you are anemia or have Asthma, the niggling cough could be reflux people dont realise it can cause just a cough..... it might be simple things like some nexium for the reflux some ventolin for the breathing or it might be something else only way to know is to get it checked...
But you know you need to get it checked out...
Yes you want to know there are benefits to finding it early, because the sooner you know if it is a recurrence then the sooner they can treat it and give you a long life, I know women who have had mets for 10+ years now .....
Please go and get it checked those 3 little girls need their mum to look after herself so she is here to look after them....
big hugs
