I had my 1.5 cm breast tumor at 6 O'clock. It was glued to my chest wall. Because my PCP would only give me screening mammograms on my very dense breasts, who looked like white snowballs on the pictures, my right breast was full of small sites of cancer, and I had to have a simple masectomy, by the time I could feel a tumor. I am ER, PR, positive that makes me more prone to cancer coming back to my bones, namely rib bones, I was calmly told by my oncologist. She told me there isn't any test to catch it in time. I am Stage 1, Grade 2. I was put on Tamoxifen because of osteoporosis. I can only take 10 mg. And supplement with . indole-3-carbinol. My cancer center is the best in my state. It is ranked 40th in cancer treatment. I can't go to another state because of my Medicaid. I am proactive and do everything I can. I am given an exam of my masectomy site, twice a year, and a diagnostic mammogram once a year. It has been 3 years since my surgery. I fill out a questionnaire asking me if I am losing weight, have pain in my liver, lungs, ribs, spine. How is this acceptable monitoring in 2023?
