Hi, I haven't been on here in a long time.... I was diagosed and treated around 4 years ago now and had a lumectomy. In the past few months I'd been feeling some discomfort and tenderness in the area and when I went to my last visit and did all the exams to be told that it's back...

I'm in total shock. I'm being rushed along and having information and details thrown at me by the doctors and other people and I feel like a deer in headlights. I'm really not doing well at all and I don't know what to do.

Hello @missbeautiful‍, thank you for opening this discussion and sharing what you've been going through. Going through cancer a second time can be just as an overwhelming or emotional experience as the first. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you.

Hello everyone, how are you today? Have any of you experienced a recurrence of your breast cancer? How long after did it appear? How did you feel when you found out? How did you process it or accept it? Can you share any advice or support?

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
