24 years later

Was diagnosed w/BC back in 1998, lots of history since. Recurrences in 2021 & 2023, Same type cancer but last one in scar tissue. Hang in there, but you seem to start over every time it raises it's ugly head.

@gloriaannjames thank you so much for posting that. I will remember it if and when I have a recurrence/spread. I am nine years out.

God bless you!

I have an enormous amount of thick internal scar tissue from my lumpectomy. I worry about cancer in that tissue. I have only heard "post surgical changes" on scans. Can you please tell me which test confirmed the cancer in the scar tissue? Thank-you.

What was your original stage and diagnosis? Invasive Ductal Carcinoma?

Agreed. Without this information and more (age at diagnosis, tumor type, grade, type of cancer, and original treatment) it is almost impossible to determine how the information might relate to those reading. Having said that, we celebrate anyone's triumph over the diagnosis or recurrence, whenever they occur!

I was diagnosed with IDC her2+ 20 years ago with much history since. I like to say; it hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been worth it. Even through the hardest times I always find a way to look for the “better times” expected to return soon.
Isn’t finding what I can be grateful for today and hoping for more tomorrow what being resilient is all about. I find cancer survivors to be among the most resilient people I know.
What are you grateful for today? In what ways do see yourself as resilient?

Inflammatory breast cancer, stage 4.

I used to think so.

That’s amazing and so good to hear that you’re a 20 year Her2+ survivor.

Did you receive any immunotherapy at the time? I’m five years out and doing well. ♥️
