Hmm
Hi Laura
I would bet a lot of money that your tumour was there for a long time but not detected by mammo/ultrasound etc. My second tumour in the breast I am sure was there all along just small and not detected at the time of removing the first 2 cm lump. Despite scans and ultrasounds my second tumour was only detected by core biopsy and it was 4 cm x 2 cm...I asked "how can I grow something this big and it not show up?" silence from onc..
real Answer= dense breasts/fibrocystic disease = scans can't tell what is going on..
I wish I had had the breast off the first time..which is what I wanted! Then just maybe I wouldnt have had a liver spot 2nd time and become stage IV.
Anyway we live and learn..keep fighting.
