7 Year Anniversary Surgery / But BC has Recurred :(

Rosanne7 · January 2019

Many mixed, confusing feelings today.

Today Jan 6 is the 7 Year Anniversary of my mastectomy..... in many ways, it was successful!

But as of Nov/Dec 2017, I was diagnosed w/ both new primary IDC in opposite breast & local recurrence (breaking through to skin) at mastectomy scar site.

Arrived home from church today (Sunday) & found slew of e-mails/voicemails from my medical oncologist's office... I'm afraid to read them.... will try to find the wherewithall by tomorrow afternoon.

Usually, I am not a fraidy-cat like this. What is happening to me ??

Thanks to all for this forum & being here,

Love,

Roseanne7

You know too much!

It's ok to take a break, then read them.

Deep breaths - you got through it before and can do it again. Once you get a handle on the new situation, perhaps you'll want to inquire about genetic testing (or maybe one of the messages you already have concerns that topic!)

LOL... Thanks, SantaBarbara!

Like Tom Hanks (in "Sleepless in Seattle" & "Castaway"). I'm still breathing in & out....

Just be sure to bring a friend or loved one to the appointment to take notes as you take in all of the information. Be sure to jot any questions that arise immediately, because once 30 seconds passes, the questions may be forgotten until you get home. Let us know how the appointment goes. Sorry you're dealing with this.
