It’s been 10 years...I’m back!

Hi all!

10 years ago, I stumbled across this wonderful site. At that time, I was newly diagnosed with a papilloma. After my excisional biopsy, my surgeon discovered that along with the papilloma I actually have atypical ductal hyperplasia. I was sent to visit with an oncologist, they recommended Tamoxifen, but I wasn’t a candidate due to blood clotting issues. Since then I’ve been in the watch and wait club. All has been fine, up until two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, I went in for my normal yearly screening mammogram. Funny thing is, this was actually my very first year that I wasn’t anxious or worried about my screening. The year that I’m not worried is the year that I get the call back. I’ve been having pain in my upper right arm, along with my lymph nodes in my armpit on that side coming up and down. My report states that I have had developing asymmetry on present and prior mammograms, but questioning the increase in prominence on the current study. I’m scheduled for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, next Friday.

Yesterday, I had labs done for my routine checkup with my hematologist. Peeked at my results and my calcium blood level is elevated. Not sure if this is all related or not?

Not sure why I’m posting all of this.... think I’m just looking to see if any of you guys have a similar story? I’ve got a very deep feeling that something is just not right.

Thanks for listening! So very thankful for this community! Hugs to you all!
