Hello again Donna
How did you get on when you saw your GP today ?
I had my ultrasounds today and guess what - all clear ! Achy boobs have never been me - until now !
The radiographer was very good, he explained what he saw as he went along. Hubby came along so he heard it all first-hand. When I went out to change he did some more explaining to hubby so that was good. The radiographer asked me how long since I hit menopause and when I said 13 years and I still get hot flushes - he grinned and said some of the glands are still there, hence the pains (he pointed things out to hubby, along with the scar which he said is very smooth). Apparently the pain I am getting in both sides is to do with hormones !
So, do I go on to Tamoxifen ? Still not convinced that is a good idea. I could get the Oncotype DX test but that currently costs $4,500 - I made contact with the testing place.
It has made me decide to ask for ultrasounds instead of accepting the added radiation of x-ray mammograms from now on. See what the surgeon says on Friday week, eh ?
Anyway, hope that is of some info for you with your achy boobs.
Keep in touch
Summer :-)
