In July 2001 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts. Scheduled for
DoubleDouble-tussin dm MastectomyMastectomy
Mastectomy - series. Prior to the surgery I had some tests done that indicated it has already spread to my liver. Further CT showed 30 leasons on the liver the biggest one being 3cm. As soon as I was able after the surgery, the doctor started me on Tamox (no chemo/radiation). After one month of being on Tamox, they did a re-scan and it showed great improvement. All of the leasons had reduced down in size and some were gone. The biggest one now being 2.1cm. My blood work keeps coming back
normalNormal saline flush (has been all along). I am not in any pain what so ever. I can see the confused looks in my doctors
facesFace pain they keep saying I am not a
normalNormal saline flush cancer patient.
Is it possible to have liver mets and not feel it? Is it possible to have cancer and yet the blood tests are
normalNormal saline flush?
For about two years prior to all of this I was taking estrogyn and progest. I was very careless with taking these drugs. I would stop and start them again or just forget to take them for a few days at a time. Could that have damaged my liver to make them think it is cancer?
I am wondering if I should get a second opinion. I like the doctors I have now though.
