Hi Ladies,
I was cancer free from 2006 - 10/10 but now I'm back fighting the beast again. I plan on having a full recovery after surgery next week so I will be joining all of you again at that time.
Take care,
Nancy

Counting my blessings now; 6 month survivor!

First time: 22 years, 10 months, 27 days (Woo Hoo)
time since reoccurence (oh s**t): 7 months 28 days.
Lesson I learned--to remain diligent in watching my health, I really had thought I would never deal with BC ever again after so long.

Jo-5 28 years ago they seldom did lumpectomies as they were new on the scene. I had a mastectomy and reconstruction. The cancer was 9mm and medium growing (same as the current one) 17 nodes were taken. All were clear.
There was no follow up---

Dreaming - I also had the Mohs surgery (on my nose) the PS did a pretty good job pulling the skin from my cheek to fill in the large crater formed when the cancer was taken out. Have a scar running down my nose, but since I have a lot of wrinkles anyway - it doesn't stand out that much. I have a lot of basal cell cancers due to teenage years when we all lived on the beach and slathered on baby oil!!!
Little did we know!
PS I was also told the skin cancers were not connected to breast cancer.

Hi
I have just had a second mastectomy about 9 weeks ago and the first one was last sept. 2010 all looks good. I was wondering though what tests need to be done when you have had a second mastectomy and that's it.
