Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Hi Cathy,

Sorry you are back because of recurrence, but glad to "see" you again. Goodness your story is sobering for all of us. From what I understand from your initial post you were not having symptoms such as shortness of breath from your lung lesions and they came as an unwelcome surprise? You say this old school onc insists you are brca1 positive, guessing b/c of the ovarian on top of breast ca. Do you really have to wait a year for the results to confirm same? Gosh, that is a long time and it has been a month since the scan and Bx. That is an such a head-messer! Waiting is awful with this disease. I am sorry you have to contend with that on top of other things. I bet you are eager to attack these newest invaders and I hope things move along swiftly going forward so you can get a treatment initiated. I wish you godspeed with it!
