Need Advice
Hi ladies
Need some advice ... 2yrs ago I was diagnosed
stage ii early breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy, chemo, radio and am on hormone blockers.
My recent mammogram show an "anomaly" on the same sid...
What a difficult situation to be in.How big is this anomaly ? I think the size might persaude me one way or other. I had a lumpectomy in 2003 and 7 years later cancer came back in the very same spot. It had grown to 3 cms in a year and appeared as a calcified area on my mammogram.Now it may have been slowly growing for years but not seen on previous mammograms- I don't know. Anyway,I've survived cancer a second time and 2 years on,seem ok. If it's really tiny then your doctor must think it's safe to leave for 3mths. If it's a larger anomaly then I think I'd want further testing or a second opinion.In anycase,go with your gut feeling.Sorry I can't be of much help.
