Hi,
My history: I was diagnosed with IDC in August 2003 and completed my treatments (lumpectomy, re-excision, chemo and 33 rads and am now on
TamoxifenTamoxifen
Tamoxifen citrate) in February.
My concern: I just had my one-year bilateral mammogram. At my check-up the
radiationCystitis - noninfectious
Radiation therapy doc said the results "are fine." I went to medical records and got a copy of the report and it said the following:
BenignBenign ear cyst or tumor
Benign positional vertigo 2 - There is some increased density in the right breast secondary to the
radiationCystitis - noninfectious
Radiation therapy changes. What EXACTLY does INCREASED DENSITY in my breast mean? This is the same breast that had the cancer. Does it put me more at risk in the future? My next mammogram is in a year and now I'm a bit worried. Or am I being cancer-paranoid?
Thanks for a great site.
