Not Again....

I've not had a recurrence but am here to wish you all the best, @rene2476.  You are an 'old hand' at this BC saga so you know not to panic just yet, take one step at a time.
Sending a big gentle hug.  <3

That’s a bugger @rene2476  -  hopefully it is just a fibroid. Is this the other boob?  

Try not to second guess the results, difficult tho it is!

 All the best for the core biopsy tomorrow. Xx. We’ll be thinking of you 

Hey rene, fingers crossed its all okay.  I've heard of fibroids before, apparently they are quite common.  

Good luck for tomorrow.

Hi Rene, it’s a bugger and totally unfair to have to worry again. I got a recurrence in the same breast 7yrs after my first bc.I had to have a mastectomy and chemo.That was almost 10yrs ago and I’m fine now.
I always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.You can’t turn off the worry so just keep busy.Big hug.xx

I had a right side mastectomy and axillary clearance, then chemo and radio. I have a fibroadenoma on the left side behind the nipple. Each year at my mammogram/ultrasound they hunt around for it, eventually find it, and measure it. Each year it is approx the same size. Nevertheless, each year I panic, because I also originally had a fibroadenoma on my right side too. However, apparently there is no proven link between fibroadenoma and cancer.
We all worry. 😔

Mine is a cyst so they say. They measure it every year. Never had an Mri or a biopsy on it though.

I was told for years that the slowly growing lump in my axilla was a cyst. Looked like a cyst on mammogram and ultrasound. Nothing to worry about. I eventually insisted on getting it removed and went on the public waiting list for nearly a year. Turned out to be Grade 2A invasive mucinous carcinoma and here I am. I'm getting everything biopsied from now on.

Hi @rene2476,

This just truly sux. I'm kind of in the same boat at the moment.  They've been tracking a lesion (3 yrs since the original one) that has been showing on my MRI, not visible on mammo or u/s.  I finally bit the bullet and had it removed last Wednesday. I'm still waiting on the results.  It's been a long drawn out saga.  My post Scan day freaking sux has the details of how it kept getting missed and was incredibly difficult to biopsy as it couldn't be done in the MRI. Read that as six core biopsies couldn't hit it. Grrr
For the life of me I cannot understand why MRI is not standard procedure for B/C follow up.  
Quite honestly I think the second time around the waiting is worse....we know too much now.
I have all my fingers, toes and legs crossed for you lovely.  Lets hope we both get the results we want.
xoxoxox

I should have insisted on an MRI when I was diagnosed but my BS advised against it. If I had it would have saved one operation and five months of agonised decision making, and endless tears, about the BMX. My advice to everyone now is inisist upon it if you can at all possibly afford it.

If you are a public patient and referred through surgical outpatients clinic the hospital should be paying.  You may have to jump up and down a bit but at $600 a hit it's worth the jumping.
