Phyllodes after severe stress

My MPT started a year after constant stress and caring for a partner with cancer. I had no time for myself to keep my stress levels down and I believe this is the reason I became ill.

Though doctors had some knowledge of the disease it was not I felt really there forte. Reference to the tumor after are that it was not possible to re occur. We in the group of women with it know this is false information.

Radiation caused damage to the breast and pain that is still there 15 months later. I feel radiation should not be given unless there is a true possibility of re occurence and indication of this

Thanks to all for the support given in the groups for Phyllodes patients

Update. It is now 21 months since diagnosis. I have a seroma still in the surgery site. However no re currence and doing very well. Now back at study.
