My recurrence was in my armpit too, though its invasive lobular carcinoma. It developed very quickly once it got going and has infected 6/15 nodes with vascular involvement. Really not great news. I've just started radiotherapy after a rather difficult chemo treatment.
You know, I don't concentrate too much on anything but dragging my sorry arse through treatment (again). Though the people treating us are scientists, the whole process is a bit hit and miss. There is no crystal ball and no one really knows what outcomes will be. Over the last ten years I've seen people with truly appalling prognosis go into remission and keep chugging along for years. I've also seen those who apparently had less worrisome diagnosis have really sad stories.
One foot in front of the other, @loulou1969. Don't get distracted by the treatments others are having; we are all unique and ultimately have to trust that our medical teams know their stuff. That said, it is your job to be as well informed as possible and keep all over the details that you can influence. This is a great site for support and information, particularly as you get further into your treatment and have to deal with the almost unavoidable glitches. Good luck, Marg
