    I am new to this forum and  In 2004, I developed BC at the age of 32 (as a result of radiation treatments for hodgkin's disease in 1986), and had a Bi-lateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction of saline implants on June 28, 2004. My right breast dx was infiltrating carcinoma with ductal and lobular features. Left breast had lobular carcinoma in-situ. Chemo ( Adramyacin and Cytoxan) 1 tx damaged my heart and I developed cardiomyopathy. In 2008 I had a heart attack, and my RCA (right coronary artery) was 100% blocked. I had a stent put in and it was noticed that there was numerous amounts of radiation fibrosis with in the heart itself. Here in 2010, I am awaiting surgery (Sept. 15th) for possible recurrance of BC in the right breast. Recent ultrasound showed BIRADS catagory 5, 3 tumors noted in right breast along mastectomy scar and one bb size tumor noted in the sternum area. The US report states 2.6 cm poorly defined solid mass with high vascuIarity ,and 1 cm solid mass within the skin suspicious for skin mets. I am seriously numb over all of this and mainly scared to death at the moment. The large mass is pressing on my implant and is causing tremdous amounts of pain there and along my right lymphodemic arm!! UUUUGGGHHH!!!! I can't believe that this is  happening all over again after 6 years. I could just vommit!! I can't sleep, and I haven't cried yet, and I'm not sure at this point if that is a good thing or a bad thing.....Is there anyone else out there with a similar story? What are the chances that this has mets to other organs?? I want to see my kids grduate high school and drive me crazy with grandchildren. I am SO NOT READY to do this again!! I can't handle loosing my hair....that's the worst....(sigh)

    Hi crazylifex3, I'm sorry you're going through this.  Our circumstances are different but I've been scared while waiting for surgery and test results so I wanted to reach out with a cyber {{hug}}.
