That is really dependent upon a great number of things. Did you have chemo or radiation? Was your cancer estrogen receptive or not?

Have you discussed your concerns with your physician/oncologist?

You will have to discuss your concerns with your doctor.

It is unfortunate that we can't provide you with more appropriate answers. Please understand that I would like to help you more than this, but since I cannot review your medical records to know exactly what kind of cancer you had, what procedures you had, or the results of the procedure, I can't give you a more definitive response.

Oh, honey, I know you are scared! I'm a cancer survivor myself. I had breast cancer 14 years ago. I know EXACTLY how scared you are.

After my breast cancer I chose to pay it back and became a nurse so that I could help people the way my nurses helped me.
