Hello. I follow this forum and I see it's full of lovely people and it helps, so I decided to join.
I was diagnosed with a grade 2 ER + breast cancer in 2013, age 47. Young daughter, no partner and a job in care which was tough. I had a lumpectomy (2 sentinel nodes +ve but axilla all clear) FEC-T chemotherapy and radiotherapy with Tamoxifen. After nearly 8 years of being fine, got remarried, daughters doing well, a routine mammogram picked something up - biopsy says 1.5 cm tumour ER + again in the same breast. I always knew it could happen, but it is a shock. They're pretty sure it is different from previous, and think it's a new primary. I'm lined up for a mastectomy and reconstruction, and they've done a CT scan. I feel sick with fear that it will have been growing somewhere else all this time. I've tried to find out my results but the clinic just has a recorded message. Someone I spoke to says I won't be told anything until they have their big case management meeting. It just goes on and on, and I have a fear that they will want to do another scan. I just wish there was someone who could give reassurance. Thanks for reading this. xx
