I'm confused
Four years ago today I had the dreaded biopsy which confirmed my BC. Today I had to have a biopsy to check something seen on my US I had on Tuesday. They found something growing in my lymph nodes. Huh? What lymph nodes? They were removed. Full anxilliary clearance. Today the radiologist and the doctor both assured me I had numerous lymph nodes in my chest region. They both queried me as to the full removal and suggested maybe I only had a couple removed. The radiologist on Tuesday queried me twice as did the one from today and the doctor queried me three times. I have to wait a week to see if the lymph nodes 'which I don't have' are cancerous. My reports all show I had the full clearance three and a half years ago.

- Good to hear that you had a good night @Blossom1961... shame about the vertigo tho. I've only had it the once & it was horrible.
Are you able to get outside help in to do the floors & general cleaning? (Tho I think you have to be 65 before signing up for My Aged Care & access subsidised assistance.)
take care xx - Had a good night sleep last night and felt pretty good. Decided to do my floors :s Vertigo hit after only getting the hard floors swept. The rest will have to wait until chemo is finished. Oops, I am now on chemo forever. Maybe we should move outside where messy floors are non existent :p
- Thought it was unlikely, M. It is nice to be treated like a sentient beings, no?
- @Zoffiel, no Javier made me have an Onco 'on the ground' here. They are keeping him informed of my treatment though as I told them I would be changing back to him as soon as I could. The three hour drive is worth it!
- Best of luck chick. Hope that wasn't Javier's mix up.
- You're amazing. Thanks for letting us know what's happening. What a day!!! Hope the next few days are ok after this treatment today. Take care
- What an exhausting day it turned out to be for you today @Blossom1961 ! Rest up tonight and I hope your treatment wasn't too harsh on you today. xx
- Golly, @Blossom1961 they are throwing curve balls at you. Six hours is a long time - how on earth have you had the energy to get on-line ?
Where are you having your treatment this time ?
Good to get the physio on board early. - Change of plans. I started the herceptin and perjeta at the same time as the taxol. I originally expected this but Onco told me taxol only so got a shock when my treatment went for six hours today. Forwards we go!
Appt with lymphodema physio on Friday. It appears I may have early lymphodema. At least I am catching it early. - All the best for starting on Paclitaxol on Monday. You have a lot of ahead of you, but you are in good hands, and sounds like they are on top of everything for you @Blossom1961 . xx
