I had breast cancer with lumpectomy in 1994 and then 35 radiation treatments. Fortunately, I did not require chemo. And, I chose not to take the tamoxifen. But, I experienced extreme muscle and joint pain after the radiation treatments. I have fibromyalgia with chronic pain and I also took vitamins, etc. The radiation treatments caused my fibromyalgia to become acute. I began taking 1000 units of Fish Oil twice daily and found that after a short time, my pain factor was much, much better.

Congratulations on your eight years! I hate to be the one to say this but there is no such thing as "out of the woods" with cancer, I wish there was.
What you've done is reduced your risk for another estrogen positive breast cancer and ovarian cancer. But that doesn't mean you won't get a different type of breast cancer in the remaining breast tissue or another part of your body.
But you know as well as I do that each year we are NED with cancer is better for our odds.
I am 55 years old had recttal cancer removed 4/o8, and luckly no bag and no treatment. I have dense breast with micro calcification. Had a biopsy of right breast 2 years ago and was fine. Went for mamo and sono this past Monday and they saw microcalcification that they say is suspicious. So next friday I go to the hospital for yet anothet biopsy.
My question is, for my surgery in april for the rectal cancer I had a chest cat scan and a full body pet scan. Both came up good.
