Recurrence after mastectomy, 5 years ago.
Hello all,
I can’t believe this is happening again.
Recurrence along scar.
Dr’s say I need chemo, surgery, radiation and anti hormone pills. Chemo will start first week of December.

Bonnie - I too had a recurrence after a bilateral mastectomy. Yes, I had to do chemo, then ALND surgery, them more chemo because there wasn't a complete response to the first batch, then radiation, then Herceptin for the rest of a year. UGH!!
Edited to say, I'm 8 years past the 2nd diagnosis now and things are basically good.
Seems impossible that this happened, right? But you can do this. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
-
Thank You to ALL!!! Really appreciate your thoughts and comments. MinusTwo, I’m so happy that you’re doing good

I'm sorry you are going through this. I had a recurrence after BMX also. Mine was in 2015. Also did chemo, radiation and antihormonals. Still cancer free.....
-
Hi Bonnieblu... i wish you a speedy recovery this time through. Did you not have chemotherapy or radiation the first time?

Hi!
Had issue signing in last time. No, last time I had DMX and Tamoxifen.
Had first A/C infusion on 12/23. Doing okay so far.
Prayers and love to all!
