Yeah Michele!!! Good news. I feel like we are similar in the fact that I am fast approaching 5 years too. I had my own scare a couple of months ago when my surgeon and radiologist decided that they would like a baseline MRI of my breasts since I have such dense tissue on my remaining breast. They went ahead and viewed my reconstructed breast even though I didn't have skin saving surgery nor any remaining lymphnodes but that breast caused the problems. They saw something and made me come back the next day to do it again. I spent soooooo long in that machine! I have a tiny lump on my scarline that popped up after the last redo on the implant. It is OK (reverse suture or something like that?) but boy I hate, hate, hate tests. On top of it, I had a bad reaction to the contrast after the second time. I think it was due to having it done one day after the next. I feel that we have gotten to a great point in survivorship (almost 5 years), we knew our odds on the get go and then to have something pop up now really makes you sit back and think. I pray for the best for you and hope that it is just a false reading.

Becky, you always know so much and give us all such great information. I have a question please. None of my doctors even mentioned taking my ovaries out....I still have them. I was 36 when diagnosed and have my period now every 28 days like clockwork. Would it be because of my ER/PR status being negative? Now you have me wondering!

Thank you!
