feeling uneasy about treatment

[penelope]

Hi I just wrote out a whole long post and lost it. Frustrating.

I am feeling very uneasy and am hoping some of you very knowledgable women can help.

In Jun3 05 I was diagnosed with 7mm er-, her2+ node neg tumor. I immediately before surgery had a CT/PET scan which was unremarkable besides the tumor in breast. So I had a bilateral with implants, went on to have 4AC and 11 months of herceptin. Last summer I had a bone scan...normal, abdominal CT scan in Oct 06....normal and a chest xray in Dec 06.....normal. In Jan 07 I replaced my implants with bilateral diep, and since that time I have had trouble around my sternum. Before the surgery I had always thought that it was just a rogue nerve, a short quick stabbing pain that came and went. Now that surgery is over it is more pronounced. It is stabbing, quick, burning at times and still comes and goes. If I press on my sternum it does not hurt, and all bloodwork is normal. But I am freaking out. I keep thinking this is mets. I do not even know what my risk of recurrance is. How would I figure it out anyway?

I have a new oncologist because my insurance changed. I have seen her once and at that time discussed my treatment with her. Although she said my prognosis was "excellent" I got the feeling that she would have given my taxol. I do not have an appointment with her for two months so I gave her nurse a call to talk about the symptoms I have been having. Her nurse said she would give me a call back and move up the appointment but she never did.

Any thoughts here ladies. Any at all?
