@JaneT it certainly is hard news to hear! I had a recurrence in the same breast same spot believe it or not 4yrs after. 1st diagnosis I did radiation and tamoxifen, 2nd diagnosis was chemo, no rads as cannot do it twice and now on Aromasin, it's been 2yrs since this diagnosis. I opted this year for a single mastectomy with immediate diep reconstruction, its a big op, but am really happy with it all, ive also had the revision in July with a nipple recon and fat grafting and right breast lift. I had clear nodes and genetic testing negative so decision was easy. It was devastating a recurrence mentally so much harder the 2nd time, but you absolutely will get through it.
I think interesting in that dependent on our paths from start to where we are now, I've learned alot and if faced again I know what I would do, so knowledge is power. Big hugs you're going to be ok!! Melinda xo
