[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've known so many people who have dealt with breast cancer.  A diagnosis always sucks, but it has become much more survivable.[/quote]

For a while...until it comes back with a vengeance. [/quote]

[b]Not always, and not too soon.  My aunt had a mastectomy about 23 years ago.  It may come back, god forbid, but 23 years ain't bad.[/quote][/b]

Your Aunt was lucky.  In my family my Aunt and Cousin died of it on third reappearance.  Mother had it return three times too.[/quote]

My mom had it come back as stage IV within 4 years. [/quote]

And those cases suck.  Terrible luck.  But that doesn't mean it is always a death sentence.  It doesn't always come back.

My mil had a couple bouts, then had a mastectomy.  Not expected to return now.  No guarantee of course, but her prognosis is good.

My FIL unfortunately recently died of stage 4 cancer that seems to have been a fluke.  It always sucks to lose someone to cancer.  I am very sorry for your losses.  I am not trying to minimize that at all.

"Not expected to return?" What does that mean?

My mother's cancer diagnosis wasn't bad at all. Mastectomy, radiation, and tamoxifen. Didn't need chemo because it "wasn't that bad and chemo wouldn't provide additional benefits." Clean bill of health until she was diagnosed stage IV when she had back pain. She had cancer all over her body. Came back quickly, and with a vengeance.

No family history.

I've had broad spectrum testing, and it showed nothing. [b]Doesn't really matter since my mother didn't have a genetic predisposition to breast cancer[/b] either yet it will be what ultimately kills her.

NP.  Do you know this for sure?  Did she have genetic testing done?  [/quote]
