Hi Sally, we always jump to worst scenario which is a normal reaction. I had a recurrence in the same breast 7yrs after first cancer diagnosis so had to jump through all the hoops again.I was so worried it would be in the bones but it was all clear. That was 9 yrs ago and I’m fine- no more cancer scares.I have a lady in my bc support group who had a recurrence in her lymph nodes and that was 17 yrs ago. She’s been on various meds and her oncologist keeps her monitored.The cancer stays put and hasn’t travelled for 17yrs! Sometimes nodes enlarge when you are fighting a virus.I hope you are cancer free but if not,take heart from all our positive stories.xx
