Was your breast cancer misdiagnosed by a radiologist?

Yes, I most likely had the cancer 6 months before a biopsy was done. First radiologist said suspicious spot ok but come back in 6 months. Second radiologist at 6 months later said I needed a biopsy but spot had not changed in the last 6 months. 3 mm in size, actually all removed in biopsy, clean nodes and margins. However it was stage 1, invasive, had left the milk duct. Was it in situ 6 months prior? Could have been. Chose no radiation but taking arimidex for 5 years. But took a DNA test in November which shows circulating tumor cells in blood ☹️. To be monitored twice a year now.

I'm sorry this happened and wishing you all the best.
Is the DNA test you took for only HER 2 Negative tumors? My tumor (IDC) was HER 2 Positive and I was told I could not have testing.

Hi! @mpirruccel :

I am so sorry that you had been misdiagnosed by the radiologists thus led to waste precious time for treating the cancer earliet:( I am even more saddened by the urgent situation of the tumor cells showing up in your circulating blood! My heart goes out to you, my friend! Could you please let us know what kind of DNA test that you took in November that concluded that tumor cells in your blood? Sorry, I am new to this forum (just had been diagnosed in November) that I am still learning... What name is this "DNA test" that shows the recurrence of circulating cancerous cells ?

My prayers and spirit are with you, striving ahead alongside you!
