Freaking out ultra sound and mammogram today ..

Sam09 · May 2018

Today I had an ultrasound to check on a lump of scar tissue in the surgery site of my lumpectomy I had over 2 years ago. The radiologist came in to tell me nothing else showed up in either breasts phew ....however one lymph node shows vascularity around it .I asked what size it was knowing normal size is 1 cm. She said it is within normal size but since the last ultrasound it has vascularity. She wanted to do a needle biopsy then and there. I declined because Id rather speak to my own oncologist in 2 weeks first. ...I did agree to a mammogram which I do not like having but I did as she explained it would show up more. All sorts of fear is bubbling up and I'm trying to stop it .I have had scans 2 months ago and no active cancer apparently. Can anyone tell me if this could be Ok? I'm on herceptin and perjeta forever I guess and it has worked well so far and I didn't have any lymph nodes taken at surgery .I didn't wish to do that My bloods last week were perfect . But ...still what does this mean . I haven't had any infections that I know of either...

Hi @Sam09. I cannot help with any of this but hoping and praying all will be well. I trust someone can come by and answer some of your questions and allay some of the fears. Keep thoughts positive on what you do know. The fear is absolutely understable. hugs

Hang in there Sam. I know the waiting is awful but it's not something until it is, and there's nothing more for you to do now. What's something that helps you take your mind of things? Get into as much distraction as you can manage. Thinking of you and sending a big hug. K xox
