In 2001, I was healthy 42 year old female. Routine exam and mammogram resulted in biopsy and diagnosis of breast cancer. Treatment included biolateral mastectomy and TRAM reconstruction.
In 2005, I had first colonoscopy that revealed pre-cancer polyps removed.
in 2009 I had second colonoloscopy that revealed precancer polyps removed.
April 2011, I am 51 yr old female, 5'5", 220 lb. Saw my podiatrist for routine appt for pain in left foot. He immediately noticed a change in a lesion on the top of right foot. I thought the lesion was part of the incision that never healed flat like the rest of the scar. Dr insisted he performed immediate punch biopsy.
My breast surgeon has found a palpable lump above the mast/recon incision. My next appt I expect will be an excisional biopsy.
I am so anxious ... I can't sleep, even with taking 2 sleeping pills. I wonder if my breast cancer has recurred, if it's metastisized, and how my foot is involved.
How concerned should I be? I'd appreciate any words of wisdom. thanks.
