Reoccurrance of breast cancer
Hi lovely people.
Is reoccuranxe of BC likely after having stage 3, grade 3, her 2 pos bc, almost 5 years ago. I have one breast, and noticed perhaps a lump, hard to tell without getting checked. I had right breast mastectomy and chemo. I have been amazing up until now, except for tye chemo brain and menopause but hey I'm alive.
Thanks in advance

- I am so sorry to hear this, keep strong and lkick that cancers butt. I have an appt in 2 weeks. X fingers
Take care xx - I was first diagnosed in 2006. I’ve had annual mammograms since then and devastated to find I had another cancer in the same breast this year! I did all of the treatment - lumpectomy, radiation, hormone blockers for 8 years. Thought I was all good but apparently not! Get it checked! Wish you luck!
- Hi everyone
Thank you for your comments, I have an appt in 2 weeks and I will post a reply then.
Lots of love xxx - @Trikki2 - as others have said, bring the mammogram forward. Silly to sit and worry when you can get it checked. No-one says you have to wait for the scheduled mammogram so see your GP. I had a lump on the mastectomy side, above the scar, several years after my BC. It turned out to be a Lipoma so now worry at all. All the best, let us know how you get on.
- Hi @Trikki2, to add to the helpful advice above. You may like to check out our My Journey articles on the subject of 'Recurrence'. Your feelings are valid and experienced by most people who have been diagnosed with cancer.
- @Trikki2 Get it checked ASAP please. I was four years post and my cancer came back. It may just be a cyst, but don’t risk it.
- I am due for my mammogram in September, so I will call and bring it forward 🙏
Thank you xx - @Trikki2
Are you due for a mammogram?
At least go and see your GP and have that "perhaps a lump" checked. It will give you peace of mind.
Take care - No one can guess this @Trikki2. Your 5 years down which is just wonderful. Get that lump checked, could be just a cyst.
