What Should I Do if I Suspect My Breast Cancer is Returning?

Hi Christine, why would you think your cancer is coming back? Consult with your oncologist and surgeon to make sure what is going on.

Christina, trust your gut. Ask your oncologist to scheduled a MRI or CT w/contrast of your body. Please don't take 'no' for an answer.

Absolutely agree. Request the MRI and oncology blood work

God Bless you, I am in remission, the mastectomy of my left breast, 8 weeks of chemotherapy One call Red devil can't think of the name of the other one, everyday but weekends for 7 weeks radiation. I pray ladies that we all will survive this disease.

Never rely on a CT. Mine was missed until they ordered an MRI. PET scans will give a clear picture too, of course.

Request a pet scan and or second opinion. Bless Up, Sis!
