Since I also had a double mastectomy and went flat, it was easy to feel the new lump on my chest wall 7 years later. I also had been having annual ultrasounds, but I caught it first.
Now, I have regular CT scans, first every 3 months and now every 6. Like you, I have so many other medical ailments including another type of cancer, neurological issues, diverticulitis issues, etc. Lots of pain and symptoms that have nothing to do with cancer. A familiar pain is not worrisome, but every new pain that pops up, I think, "It that the cancer? Is that? What about that?" It think it's natural to worry about that. But so far, all new pains are not due to the cancer. Phew!
I think I'll order the Mayo book on breast cancer. 🙂
