Thankfully I know more this time.
So, 7 and a bit years after a Stage 3 E+ PR+ breast cancer diagnosis in the left breast, I am facing some changes in the right breast. Picked up in yearly mammogram/ultrasound. Nobody has suggested it...

Thank-you to everyone for their responses and good wishes. I am managing to keep myself from leaping too far ahead (although I guess the mastectomy could be regarded as a big leap, but it’s something that it’s natural to have given thought to going through what we do). I am just concentrating on getting through the biopsy next Monday and hopefully not having to wait too long for results.
I think the waiting is even harder for the couple of people close to me who I have told. I have tried to convey to them how I felt from the reactions of the staff at Radiology - that this is just being extra cautious because of my history rather than them seeing anything definitely suspicious of malignancy. I am holding onto that positive element very strongly at the moment.
At times like this I also find it helpful to be a little self indulgent. ;)
