Hello, I am the husband of a breast cancer survivor. In Oct. '06 my wife had a breast cancer diagnosis. The tumor was slightly larger than 2 cm. She had a lumpectomy. Fortunately there was no sentinal node involvement. She chose to have chemo as well as radiation. She took tamoxifen for the first half of her after treatment (her choice) and arimidex the second half. She did stop taking the arimidex about six months early due to side effects. So Oct. 2011 was her five year date. On Dec. 8. 2012 she had her mammogram. When she came out I asked how she was and she was concerned as she said she saw something that resembled what she'd seen in her initial diagnosis in her other breast. Obviously there was nothing to do but wait. Today, Wed. Dec. 12, the report came in the mail. Being concerned I held the envelope to the light (forgive me, but I was concerned) and it stated it showed a finding that requires additional imaging studies for a complete evaluation. It further stated most such findings are benign (not cancer). What I'm hanging on to at this minute is that last statement as her first mammogram result in '06 stated that it appeared to be cancer. I was so hoping that her concern would be unfounded. So now I'm waiting for her to return from work. What I'd like to know (for reassurance purposes) is how frequently this happens and what the odds are that it is a benign situation. She lost a lot of weight after her first cancer (voluntarily, though she really wasn't overweight. She's about 115. She eats well. She was exercising until about a year a go. The only thing that concerns me is her job, where she works 10 hour days and is under a lot of stress at her job. I'm a frightened husband who doesn't want to see her go through this again. Any info on this situation would be appreciated. I was so grateful the last time around. I'm hoping that this is standard concern and procedure for a breast cancer survivor and nothing serious. Thank you.
