I’m a 12 year survivor, but I’m scheduled to go to UT Southwestern this month because of burning pain in my other breast and a 9mm nodule in my right lung and a lump next to my spine! My radiologist said he isn’t concerned, so it’s my decision to go to Back to UT! Is this the right move?
In June 2016 I was diagnosed tripple negative breast cancer recurring cancer.r in my brain lungs stage 4
I was originally diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2011. I made it six years when I noticed pain in what I thought was my kidney (I do have a kidney disorder). My family doctor found nothing, and he sent me to my urologist.
I was a 54-year-old lady when I went for my first mammogram, and it came back positive for estrogen-fed breast cancer. Scans showed it had already gone to my spine, my chest cavity, then it started a mass in my arm.
I was diagnosed in April 2018 at the age of 32. I fully believe a positive outlook and strive to survive are crucial to fight this.
In March 2016, I had DCIS Stage 0. I was treated with a lumpectomy and radiation. Ten months later during my routine mammogram, they found more cancer.
Nine years later, I went back to the doctor with arm pain. I was told it was most likely not breast cancer. I insisted they do a scan, and sure enough, cancer.
There are some days that I feel very upbeat in conquering this disease, but then there's times where my liver might be painful and it drags me down. I know I might not live much longer.
This diagnosis has impacted my life tremendously. I am still going back in my mind thinking about what could have happened to prevent this second diagnosis.
I was transferred to UCC in Chicago on November 13, 2018, and have seen ENT so far. My next appointment will be the December 1 for the gyno team. This is ridiculous and never-ending.
After months of not feeling well, I was finally diagnosed on June 1, 2018. I don't have any family history, and genetic testing was also negative.
