May I ask how long after your mastectomy that your reoccurance was discovered? Did you have lobular or ductal. Please keep us posted as you embark on your plan and good luck with PET. xooxoxo

GREAT NEWS!

PET was absolutely clean including nodes. Got results in a record 6 hours.

It’s 2.5 years since single mastectomy for IDC ER/PR+, HER2-, on Anastrozole basically since then.

This 4mm showed up 8 days ago , observed by me. A biopsy reveals ER + PR- ( HER2 not in yet) presumed to be - as KI is 3% ) which would support a negative but no guarantee).

It’s in the location of the original tumor so presumably a rogue cell that got away and just under the skin.

Plan presuming HER2- : I guess it’s a lumpectomy on a mastectomy? Switch AI to Examestane and radiation under consideration.

I’m so relieved that this is a local recurrence.

This was not picked up on MRI in February.

Please SELF EXAM!
