Hello,
I've just returned from the breast clinic to the dreaded news that my breast cancer has returned. A brief history of whats happened already;
2016 - stage 1 bc found in left breast, i had a double mastectomy (i was 32 at the time so having my right side removed was more a preventative thing), and i've been taking tamoxifen.
2020 - Biopsy of lump found in left breast, they thought it was scar tissue around my implant but it has come back grade 2. I've today had a biopsy of a lymph node which on ultrasound was looking enlarged. Plan is for further surgery to remove more tissue around the area, and radiotherapy, but if the lymph node shows cancer i guess my treatment plan will change.
I just wondered if anybody has had a similar experience to me? looking for reassurance to get me through the next few months.....im not that scared of the treatment...more feeling scared that this could not be cured - i have 2 children and a loving husband and cant bear the thought of not being here for them.
Thank you for reading
Sarah
