Support & Community Connections + High Risk of Recurrence or Second Breast Cancer, Created: Apr 15, 2008 01:02 pm
Here we go againHello, I feel your pain. I had breast cancer last year, this time in my right breast and had a lumpectomy and radiation. Now I've found out it's in my left. I'm having a mastectcomy on the 24th and will have a 2nd when that breast has healed from the radiation. It's so crazy, I can't believe either that this has happened. My doctors think Tamoxifen is what I'll be on, no chemo unless my lymphnodes are positive (they don't think they are). I'm so afraid of chemo and so sad to hear that you're suffering from congestive heart failure. I'm 43 and want to do everything possible to live a healthy long life and am not sure if the benefits of chemo outweigh the many risks. You're in my prayers. Diana |
