Re: Hello, crazy test results?

Nancy,
First, let me say that I don't think it's anything to worry about.

But, that's easy for me to say. You and I both know you're going to worry anyway!

So, if I were you, I'd get a second opinion from a different oncologist.
That will put your mind at ease far more than me saying things are probably fine.

I would ABSOLUTELY decline any further mammograms on your reconstructed breast. Not only does it sound incredibly painful...it seems foolish and has the potential to ruin the results you went through several surgeries to get!! You went through waaay to much to get breasts that match for anyone to risk messing them up!

I'm sure your current onc and his/her nurse are fine professionals. But... they clearly don't know you... and how much you worry! You need better answers than... let's wait and see in 6 months. My God! In 6 months the stress of waiting will have you sick, even if cancer doesn't do it!!

Logically, you shouldn't even have to have the scans repeated...just get copies for the second opinion doc to look at. Seems like a win/win to me.

Just my humble opinion... but given because I care about you VERY much!
PM me if you want even more unsolicited advice!
Sending love and prayers your way...
Denise
