found out last week after going thru 2 mammograms and surgery that my bc is back. same kind  same breast...dr dropped the bomb that this time i need a mastsectomy sense i had radation before  i can't have it again and sense it was the same kind  she said it must of spread from the frist one same kind just different spot .  Invasive ductal carsonaima ...if its spread in the breast  it could of spread to other places...i am not a happy camper  for sure...so  surgery is set for tuesday may 28.  then 2 days later see the oncolgist to see about what to do next..read if the same type comes back a secound time then chemo is a must for at least 6 mos  ...not sure about that either...but i will go thru the surgery and i will take anything they give me  But  i will survive what ever they hand out to me and i will get over this  and i will be a stronger person for this ...this is not my first time around...in 86 i had uterine  cancer and in 2005 i had kidney cancer  ...and 2008 my frist round of breast cancer...i survived all that and i will survive this....

 

ohhh by the way  what happened to the chat rooms  its either gone or i can't find it  some ansers  will be nice

    I love your spirit!!!  You

    I love your spirit!!!  You really know how to fight and inspire me with my own battle.  I am so sorry that you are facing cancer yet again.  Just to let you know, I did chemo 26 years ago and did well.  I am doing chemo again right now and will get through it.  The beast is powerful, but so are we!!!  Sending hugs and prayers.

    Sorry to hear

    I am sorry to hear about your struggles and wish you luck. I have breast cancer with mets to the bone and waiting to find out if it has moved to the liver. I have done several rounds of chemo and radiation. The meds they have to control side effects are wonderful and if something is not working make sure to have them try something new. You sound like a very strong fighter. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Good luck.
