Reoccurrence breast cancer

Has anyone else had a double mascetomy and their cancer returned? I had cancer 9 years ago and underwent a double mascetomy and lymph node removal on the right arm. I started to have a heavy arm a few months back and it wasn't going down and found a risen node in my collar bone. Last week I was told it was a reoccurrence and I find out more tomorrow on the full results of the biopsy!

To be honest, im in shock right now that it's returned after 9 years and a double mastectomy! I was 30 at first diagnosis and turned 40 this March, has anyone survived this? I have a 5 year old now which makes this so... much harder to deal with.

  • I had triple negative breast cancer in 2019, chemo, radiotherapy, a lumpectomy, it came back again in December 2020, I had further chemo and a double mastectomy in 2021. I then got cancer again in my axillary lymph nodes in December 2022 and had an axillary clearance. All clear after. But recently I’ve been feeling unwell again, so I’ve just had another pet scan, waiting on the results. Hopefully it’s not back again!

    I really hope and pray it was good news for you!
