    I didn't think I'd be back, and yet.... it hit me today. I'm just restarting the cancer treadmill and, at least today, I'm scared or sad or maybe just emotional.

    Probably all the above. It’s normal. Like the first time around, once you have a plan, it gets easier. And it’s not an instant death sentence. There are many here who are doing well several years after second dx.

    Hang in here, let us know what’s going on.

    Elderberry-Thank you, that means the world!

    Spookiesmom- You’re right. Tomorrow I will be sensible and begin planning again.

    Nextyear I am sorry to hear you are back on the treadmill and so am I. I have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past two weeks. I have a recurrence in my axilla and chest wall . I feel like the second time around has been more difficult for me. It's ok to feel sad and scared, I am too. We have to tell ourselves we did it before and we will do it again! Give yourself time to accept it and you will feel better once you have a plan. I just got my plan and I am starting to feel less sad and more determined. Just take things one step at a time, I know you will feel better and you will conquer this!

    Hi ladies,

    I'm feeling all the same emotions you are. I was almost 3 years out and then had an MRI that caught a spot. So I just received the call from my doctor yesterday about this recurrence right near my lumpectomy surgery spot.

    I go next week to speak to the surgeon, oncologist and a plastic surgeon for a plan.

    My thoughts are with all of you.

    KelliSuze-

    My thoughts are with you. Good luck with whatever plan you come up with. It sucks but at least it’s a start to handle things, at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Hugs.

    Hi fellow Fighters. I am in the same situation as all of you unfortunately. Its been 21/2 years since my BC diagnosis and only one year from last Herceptin infusion. I was feeling myself again. Then I go for my 6 month check up and they found an abnormal axillary lymph node and the biopsied it. Now waiting on results. Also did a Pet Scan found 2 probabl metastatic spots. One on lung one one liver. Not sure what to think. My emtions are all over the place.

    Nextyear:

    I’m so sorry you find your self back here-when I was diagnosed I was scared,sad and angry. I’ve been stage 4 for over 7 years with many many bone mets. I was on tamoxifen for the first 61/2 years and recently switched to ibrance. Take it day by day and allow yourself to feel the emotions you are feeling-it’s a lot to deal with. Good luck
