Chemotherapy begins
So. The margins of the re-excision are still close. Not sure what that means surgery wise but my oncologist wants to start treatment so any further surgery will have to wait until afterwards.

Hi Dan,
If I had had a mastectomy the first time I got breast cancer in 2002 (instead of lumpectomy/chemo/radiation) I wouldn't have got another bloody tumour in the same boob last year!! Going through chemo a second time, having my ovaries removed and going on femara would have all been avoided! This is why I'm getting the other boob removed and bilateral reconstruction in September. The last ten years have been a series of mammograms and ultrasounds to check for recurrence, and the anxiety that goes with it. I can't wait for the new replacements! I'm only 44, and I think I'll stand a better chance of living a long life without the boobs!! x Jane
