OT but need help!
Torkle:
My mother had breast cancer almost 30 years ago, made a full recovery after the mascectomy, and is still going strong. Don't lose hope.

I've known people who've had breast cancer and have gone on to live happy and fulfilling lives. One ex-colleague had it twice, then went on to have two healthy children and as far as I know is still living (this was nearly thirty years ago!)
Well, it's pretty hard to have it MORE than once, I suppose, given that you'll be out of breasts after the second one. Half the population manages without 'em, so eh, can't be that important. Specially when you consider YOU don't actually get any use out of them.

See? The hot knife approach works!

It also depends on what treatment you have whether or not it can recur.
Sandilou:
SJ, I read your notice when you first posted it and I've been thinking about you both since. Reassuring your mother while having to keep yourself strong must be doubly hard for you. I have said a prayer, just in case there is someone up there listening. Stay positive and we'll all help you to stay strong. ((hugs)).

This is somewhat more rare, but the same principle of treatment applies. You'll have to dig harder if that happens, though.
