I just got back from my annual mammo on the other breast. The report was indefinite, requiring another test after six month. Previous annual reports were clearly negative. I am a little upset since I have been on Femara and other dietary regimen. Are there mastec women who had recurrence in the other breast here? I rarely read about this type of recurrence and surely would like to hear from anyone with this type of info. Thanks.
