Worried, suspicious lesions found: Thought I was cancer free

@vkm, no wonder you're worried. The thought of entering the whole cancer diagnosis, treatment, side effects, again must feel like getting back on the ever-spinning hamster wheel. You're not alone.
I've added your post to the Breast Cancer group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/) too. Several members here have had multiple cancers, like @remi and @mjay, or breast cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other areas like the bones. @eku @pbnew @ks3 @nikki727 @leeann66 @mssewest have first hand experience with bone metastases.
One step at a time, vkm. I know that much easier said than done. I hope you're able to do something nice for yourself this evening to help you care for you and to sleep well. What helps you relax in times of stress? Do you have people around you?

Son and grandson live close by. But I have two loving cats!!!!
Thank you Colleen for adding me to this thread. I was diagnosed with metastasis breast cancer to bones, liver, spine, femurs, humeri, etc. I am currently on Ogivri infusions every 3 weeks, Xgeva to help strengthen bones and Faslodex monthly. I was suppose to have Perjeta but my heart keeps failing due to Herceptin so I am only doing Ogivri infusion to target the Her2+ protein of the breast cancer metastasis.
@colleenyoung
I plan to open a new topic but can't find how and use this topic here.
I am diagnosed as DCIS first for 1.1cm and did a contrast MRI, they found another 2.8cm suspicious mass & 5.6cm DCIS on the same breast, Radiologist suggest an Ultrasound and Biopsy.
Today I went for ultrasound and the radiologist found a new spot that want to do the biopsy.
Does anyone have more than 2 types of cancers on same breast and multiple spots? How was that treated?
I know I may have a Mastectomy due to multi spots. But just can't afford to hear more and more cancer spots found after each test.
Looking forward to anyone's reply. Thank you.
