I had my first mammogram since my surgery in July - almost exactly 6 months ago. No evidence of malignancey. I've had a lot of pain though, so they also did an ultrasound. Nothing found there either except the scar tissue and some skin thickening from radiation. While I had been worried about the pain, I did not think it was cancer so today's screenings only confirmed what I felt - that I'm cancer free as can be. I say "as can be" only because there is potential for microscopic cancer cells to be somewhere in my body. I'm not terribly worried about recurrence though. I did everything the doctors told me to do, and I am still taking the hormone blocker that will starve any cancer cells left in my body. What I'm worried more about right now is the damage the radiation did to me. More on that in the next post.
