Treatment options for recurrence

Hi Tulips,

Thanks for your reply.  You seem to be in a good place mentally with your decision on treatment.  I agree that we all have to feel we do what is right for us - we are all different.  Some of my family keep asking me - have you decided yet - but what they don't seem to see is that doing what I am doing at present is a form of deciding.  I think they are waiting for me to say that I have decided to have a mastectomy instead of the monitoring and medication path I am currently doing while I research more.  The way things are I can have a mastectomy at any time but once I do that it of course can't be changed.  So until I am sure about it - I will monitor.

I do get a little tired of the extra complications that get thrown in - like the seroma, as I already have been dealing with the lymphodema in the breast and then recurring infections for a long time.  Perhaps nature is really trying to tell me something...... I am going to ask the oncologist her opinion on the seroma and hopefully that will help a bit.

I hope that you are soon healed and feeling well - it sounds like you too have more other health issues going on.  You appear to have a good mental attitude to the hurdles you have come up against.  Best wishes for your continued recovery.

Cheers, Pauline xx
