Hey Mitch,I had grade 3 stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.Had a right mast and 19 nodes removed 2 of those were bad.I started chemo 5 months of it and about halfwa through I got a sore spot where my bra would sit,had a bone scan,and they said it had spread,and I was given my prognosis.Well I just wanted to die,I cried for days and then got angry,got another opinion,from a prof in Sydney he said he wasn't convinced,came back to gong to another prof he looked at scans and said ' I think someone has made a mistake' He looked at my bloods and said everything was perfect.I trust this new doc,he was the only one who stepped out on a limb for me,he was angry that I didn't have radio,so that's why I'm doing it now,starting tomorrow.This whole experience has made me so strong,i trust my instincts,and question everything. I'm feeling happy and healthy. I'm hoping your journey has not been this awful Sorelle.xxoo

OMG!!!!! Sorelle

How can they make a mistake as big as that!!!!!!! Unbelievable and someone should be accountable for that surely.  You would have been going through hell once given that kind of prognosis.  How long did you have to live with the wrong prognosis being given before you received correct results.  Did they say the cancer had spread and that is why you were given that kind of prognosis??

What sort of BC are you deailing with etc.

You poor thing.  I can't believe that could really happen in todays world!!
