Your post is encouraging. Thank you! I had a pea sized mass removed along with 3 lymph nodes. On was cancer. I think she may have said that because it is an invasive lobular cancer that is known to travel. Although she said the fact that I am older (66yo) female and I have breast leaves me open to having cancer in the other breast. My oncotype score was 18 and I am trying the 3rd hormone blocker. So many side effects effect my brain. Makes it difficult to do my job. I have been complaining that I don’t feel well since after lumpectomy (Jan 2023) and radiation (April 2013) . They had started me on tamoxifen and they assumed the side effects of the drug was why. Finally in June she was tired of my complaining and my oncologist transferred me to another oncologist in the hospital that handles “more difficult cases.” Made me feel awful being dumped like that. Before she referred me she ordered a bone and brain scan because she wanted prove to me it was the side effects of the hormone blockers. I saw my new oncologist on Monday this week. She wasn’t sure why I was on her schedule so we discussed trying a new hormone blocker and we’re going to end appt when it dawned on me I had never gotten the results of the bone scan. My memory is not good on these hormone blockers. I asked for the results. She tried to tell me that the results had been discussed with me. She started reviewing the report and than stated with shock in her eyes and voice. “You have a spot on your bone above your knee. We need to get you to xray. I’ll get the results to you rt away. “ she walked out and a nurse walked in and escorted me to X-ray. I heard nothing Tuesday and by wed at 3pm I was frustrated and called. Left a VM that I would like to hear the results of the X-ray. After 5pm a message appeared in the hospital portal telling me I have an endochondroma in femur and within it is a chondrosarcoma. I didn’t know what either was. I tried calling but they were closed so I went to my friend google which doesn’t always have accurate data and I found that what I have is bone cancer. Late at night with no one to talk too. I cried. I called the oncologist the next morning and waited all day. I finally got a call at about 5pm. No apology for the way they delivered the news no compassion for what they had put me through. The nurse that called said that the other nurse that sent that message had misspoken as I still need a biopsy to confirm but they are 90% certain it’s cancer. I am devastated and deeply hurt because of the lack of compassion I experienced from my care team during this time in my life. I was told I needed to find an orthopedic surgeon so I ask that they send a referral to Mayo Clinic. This morning (Friday) They sent a piece of paper to Mayo but no images or reports and Mayo can’t schedule me or even accept me until they see these images and reports so I wait and I wait some more. Im 66 and after this week I feel 100yo. Thank you for listening. I needed to get this off my chest.
