Hi all
Well it is 9 years since my original dx and about 7 months off herceptin and tonight I noticed that my R breast looks and feels a bit different to normal. I have also had a niggling pain in the tip of my L shoulder for about 6-8 weeks which hasnt gone away so now I am a bit worried.
Since I was/am Stage IV but have been in remission for 4.5 years I was hoping for a bigger break from everything. I had a CT scan 3 months ago which was fine.
I think the best outcome would be tumour in remaining breast and nothing else....worst outcome is tumours eslewhere as well.

So a few phone calls tomorrow and some scans pronto!
Wish me luck.
