Possible secondary breast cancer

Hello, I had a bi-latetal mastectomy and node clearance in 2012, followed by chemo a few months later. I was on Tamoxifen for 10 years and have been off it for the past 3 years. I was recommended to come off it there was no advantage to taking it and it could pose a risk to getting other cancers. However, I now have bone pain in my legs and ribs. I had a chest x-ray and it showed an enlarged heart and hyperflated lungs. I'm so scared it's come back. I'm due to speak to my doctor tomorrow to discuss results.  

  • Hello Ann-Elizabeth and thanks for your post,

    I do hope that you have now had a chance to speak to your GP. Try not to overthink it for now. Until your GP has assessed you and perhaps organised some tests no one is going to be able to tell you any more.

    Do give the nurses a ring on the phone if you would like to talk things through.

    The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    all the best,

    Catherine
