Mammogram results

I'm so pleased to have received the 'all clear' from my latest mammogram! Not a cancer cell in sight in my breasts, yay!. I often wondered whether a mastectomy would have made any difference to my diagnosis second time around...but statistics show that there is no difference when comparing lumpectomy to mastectomy as far as cancer recurrence goes. I guess my mammogram results confirm this...it never came back in my breasts.

So here I am with secondary breast cancer, yet no breast cancer in my breasts...seems bizarre in some ways. Oh well, I'm not complaining...just glad I get to keep my 'girls'...although I'd love a new set of lungs if anyone is offering, lol! :D

  • Great news, enjoy this time of stable. I made decision to no longer have mamograms with oncologists encouragement. Will have U/S if concerned. CT shows suspected lesions.

  •  Hi Celeste, I do not know why but your profile jumped out at me. I " feel " your strength  and you have done a lot in the time you had the diagnosis of ABC. I pray they find a cure,  you never know, miracles can happen. Why not you? New treatments are being looked at all the time.. fingers crossed for you Celeste, and good news regarding no BC in breasts on mammogram.

    I still get nervous each year when I have a double mammogram and ultrasound. They do not give you a written guarantee, BUt we all do not get that, so best just to try and live the best you can each day, which you seem to be doing, and keeping your sense of humour too, which helps  for sure.
