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

  • No one can guess this @Trikki2. Your 5 years down which is just wonderful. Get that lump checked, could be just a cyst.
  • @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
  • I am due for my mammogram in September,  so I will call and bring it forward 🙏 
    Thank you xx
  • @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.
  • @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 everyone 
    Thank you for your comments, I have an appt in 2 weeks and I will post a reply then. 
    Lots of love xxx
  • 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! 
  • 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
