Recurrence
I have been reading everyone's diagnosis and I am very curious about how your reocurrence was discovered.
Right now I am NED, but I never had symptoms when they found the breast cancer. It was discovered on a mammogram. I have seen where some of you were diagnosed with breast cancer and then maybe 3 years later the cancer showed up in the liver, brain or lungs. How did the doctor find this? I have tumor markers done every 3 months and that is all my onc does. Or do you have symptoms?
After reading one of the posts, I am a little concerned about prognosis with the Her2 gene. My doctor never gave me a prognosis. Someone said 5 to 10 years. Is that the life span with this cancer?
Sorry, but I am freaking out a little bit.
