How will I know if symptoms are a possible reccurence?

I am more than 9 years out and still don't have any idea how we can ever tell we have a recurrence. Most people I know have found out through testing or imaging for something else. If you are still on an AI, maybe you can take a holiday on worry. I finished 4 years ago and miss the relative security!

Many of us are older and have arthritis, stenosis, all kinds of pain. Twice I have requested an x-ray of a joint and my oncologist just tells me to go to the PCP.
Good luck to us all!

Hope someone comes along to share their story.

Get a CA27.29 blood test at least every 6 months.
Tumor markers can indicate the presence of cancer.
