Hi Mic80,
I had a CT scan and bone scan when I was first diagosed and the same after I finished chemo, they said it was good. Then I had WLE surgery followed by 30 rounds of radiation. I haven't had any scans since.
It is one year in November since my mammogram/ultrasound discovered the cancer. Nobody has mentioned scans, even when I ask about them, not even a mammogram and ultrasound which I thought would be next month?
I have a fair bit of pain in my nipple and underarm. I asked a breast surgeon at the hospital about it and he said it's normal, not really helpful. He was not even the one that did my surgery. I also asked the radiation oncologist and he has scheduled a CT for December, as Kez said I felt to shut me up ;) not sure I will go through with it after reading than link of Primek's and discussing it with my GP.
I have had a pretty haphazard journey so far, best described as slipping through the cracks. So I have booked in to see my actual Breast Surgeon for early November and I will talk to her about what the plan is, no one except my GP seems to give me the information I need, thank goodness for him.
I am not looking for guarantees, I know that is not reasonable but I want to have a plan of some sort!
