On September 26, 1991, I had a surgical biopsy, which confirmed malignancy. On October 7, 1991, I had a lumpectomy which resulted in mastectomy November 1, 1991, because I did not have clean margins free from cancer. I had adjuvant chemo consisting of cytoxin, 5-fu, and methotrexate. I did not have rad. tx. as tumor was less then 1 cm. and 22 lymph nodes were cancer free. I remained symptom free untill fall 2003 when I started to have severe backaches. I was dx. with mets Feb. 04. I have mets to mediastynym, spine, pelvis, and have pleural effusion. I believe had I of had rad.tx to the mastectomy site 15 years ago I would not of had a local reoccurance to my mediastynym, which spread throughout my body. Just My thoughts. Blessings, Lu Ann.
