Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi All - Sorry I haven't been around for a few months, but my life became very hectic and there were so many e-mails, I just couldn't keep up. I had my first year anniversary on December 28th and have had high hopes, but now I've found a lump in my left breast (my right breast was removed last time). I've been on Arimidex, but you're supposed to be post-menopausal and I had a period on January 4th. So now I might have been on a drug that wasn't helping prevent a reoccurrence. I've been trying to get back with my onc and that was a big mess up. Now I'm starting again with my ob/gyn to get approval for a sonogram - or ultrasound...can't remember which it is. Then, as you all know, I'll get my referral to the surgeon, get a biopsy, etc. I don't know if I can stand going through this again, but I can't live knowing I have a lump there and not doing anything about it. Of course in my mind, it is cancer and I will have the whole lumpectomy, mastectomy and reconstruction to go through again. I have to admit that I'm afraid, I had a mammogram in December and it was alright, but this lump is large and against my chest muscle like the last one (larger than the last one though). And, the last time, I found the lump - it didn't show up in the mammogram. Just needed a place to express my concern where I know people understand. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
