This must feel overwhelming and frightening to face this diagnosis again after so many years. Many people in this community have experienced recurrences at different timeframes, and connecting with others who understand this particular journey can provide valuable support and insights. The waiting period for scan results is especially challenging, and this community is here to offer encouragement as you navigate the next steps in your care.

Did you have radiation 11 years ago and was it hormone driven and if so have you been on the hormone blockers?
