Hi.. I was here back in 2005. right mastectomy stage 1.. just had a mammogram on the left and they saw suspicious area and now I wait to see if I have to take the journey all over again. I thought I would be better this time as I would know what I am in for but in fact I feel like I am melting.
should get the call today tomorrow or monday
Frankly I don't know how I am going to answer it.
Everytime I look at my 10 year old I want to cry
Thanks for letting me vent

I know this road all too well, too. After my lumpectomy in 2002, an abnormal mammo lead to an excisional biopsy on the other side a year later. That was total hell, so close on the heels of my original cancer. Fortunately, it was benign.
Then a few months ago, I found a mass in the non-cancer breast and was diagnosed, once again, with a Stage 1 cancer. It was not as hard for me this time. I felt I knew so much more, knew what I was capable of handling, and knew how to control my anxiety.
The extra time between my two cancers was a nice cushion.
I'm hoping all will be benign for you. One time with cancer is enough, thank you very much...

Hi Leslie, I am in the same boat as you right now, I had a mast. on the right breast on Dec 5th, 2007. Now they have found 3 lumps i my left. I had wanted them to take them both in the very beginning.of all this mess. Here I was worried that it would return in a couple of years, I never thought it would be a couple of months. It is stressful, but I am ready for what they have to say, and to fight it, if necessary.
I will pray for both of us,
Shelly

I know how you feel. I was dx'd in 2000 went through mast, chemo and rads. I have now been dx'd again, same thing, in the other breast and had a mast w/SNB waiting to heal and do chemo. The results were easier for me the 2nd time due to the fact that I know more and what to expect. Hang in there. Alot has changed in 8 yrs for me and this sight has been a godsend. I wish it was here 8 yrs ago.
