Maybe a Recurrence?

Tomorrow I go in for a ductal excision exploratory surgery to remove ducts causing bleeding in the same breast in which I had DCIS followed by lumpectomy and radiation a year ago.  To make it scarier, it appears to be from the same duct the original DCIS was found. I hope it's just a papilloma or radiation damage (radiation doc says no) and not more cancer.  So pray for me tonight...my mom had a second breast cancer diagnosis seven years after her first one and died 3 weeks later of mets.

Thanks to all of you for your kind prayers.  I had the excision. The surgeon said she didn't visually see anything that would cause the bleeding.  The next step is the biopsy...I'll get the results next Tuesday.  Another wait...

Jo ann.  I will send half my prayers up for you tonight.  The other half is for my best friend, my ya ya, who just finished her radiation on November 12 after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Situ.  She had a lumpectomy and had 12 lympnodes taken out, with only radiation required.  Her Oncologist ordered an MRI which she had yesterday and was phoned last night with an appointment for an Ultrasound and possible Biopsy next week.  We found out today the MRI is indicating a (?) that seems to measure 6x3x7mm on the opposite breast suspecting cancer.  How can this be, it never showed up on the mammogram in June of this year.  What am I suppose to say to her, "sorry again".  As I pray for you, please send a prayer up for my Gloria.  Namaste, Mona
