Testing For Cancer.

Yesterday I went to the hospital because I had been bleeding for 8 weeks non stop. They discovered that I have a small lump inside which needs to be removed and checked for cancer. There is also a cyst on one of my ovaries. The plan is to have the lump removed on the 24th of June test if for cancer and then to set a date to have a hysterectomy. Taken the Tamoxifen is the cause of my lump I have been taken the tablet for nearly 3 years now. I suppose in a way it will be better to have some things removed then I wont need to worry about having ovarian cancer because of the tamoxifen. I do hope the lump is not cancer don't know if I could hack Chemotherapy again!

Is This Normal?

I was wondering if any one that has had muscle flap reconstruction after breast cancer has the same problems as I do. I get real tight muscle pain from under the left arm over to my left breast. It's like a real tight crunching pain that lasts about a minute then just stops. I can be doing any little thing to set it off like washing my hands, lifting little things not anything heavy. I would be glad of some responses so I know it's just not me.

How Am I Doing 3 Years Later?

It's been 3 years now since I was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. How am I doing? I'm still taken the tamoxifen daily it does give some problems like night sweats. I have a long time left of taken tamoxifen and I worry about the cancer coming back when my five years of taken tamoxifen ends. In one way I will be glad to stop taken the tablet as long as I stay cancer free. Depression has not gone away and still coming to terms with life after cancer. I'm still very bitter about having cancer in the first place. I'm going to keep writing about my journey maybe it will help someone.
