I feel that the annual mammogram and ultrasound, and blood test are not enough, for some it may be, but I would love to have an MRI or some sort of scan. Considedring that the mammogram failed me the first time, it is always in the back of my mind, can they get it wrong again? Have been told it is all not necessary and will not increase chances of survival?
The other strange thing that I don't understand is why they think we are neurotic when we question recurrance. Just wait for symptoms of recurrance if you are worried. No wonder we worry :(
I would also like to know what happens after the 5 year survival, have they done research into this? Why only 5 year survival as a guide.
