Lymph nodes under the arm and neck area.

Enjoy the wekend everyone. ☺☺☺☺

Thank you Sister and Patti J and kmakm. I will definately invest in a rashie for summer. Funny you mentioned about the sun and hormone blocking meds. I did a sports day with my grandson not so long ago. Even though I was in the shade most of the time by the end of the day I was quite red and it knocked me for a sixer. Now I know why. The meds. 

There are also reports of chemo and hormone blocking medications making people extra sun sensitive as well. But we should all be covering up anyway! Any tan is skin damage. I spent time with a friend recently who says she rarely uses sunblock. Crazy in my opinion. And she complains about her wrinkles! I had a very early melonoma on my calf a few years ago. Because of its position I had to have an operation under a GA. Not fun. Slip slop slap! K xox

@Sister. I use my son's rashie from primary school. ☺

I have no idea why that happens with comments sometimes - hopefully someone else can fill you in! 

The Murray is beautiful but I don't get there often enough - I do like our beaches, though.  I've had a mostly relaxing few days down on Yorkes but not ready to go back to work, yet.  One thing I would suggest with summer coming up is that if you haven't already got a rashie for swimming, that you get yourself one.  Rads make the skin photo-sensitive and you absolutely want to avoid burning.  You can get women's fairly cheaply these days - Kmart & Target have them.  I have both  short & long sleeve depending on the weather and how long I'm out.

Thank you again sister. Will let you know how I go on Monday. How are you going?. I see you live in Adelaide. We just did a trip on the Murray and several days in Adelaide. We all had a great time. Can you show me what I do to make the  previous comments from Irb smaller. What have I done. 🤔

Hi @Chea. I had radiation to my supraclavicular nodes and the internal mammary chain as part of my treatment for EBC.
IMC is the area around the top of the sternum. That skin turned red very quickly and has remained discoloured for 3&1/2 years now. I guess I'm stuck with that. I had no problems where thay treated above my collarbone. 
I don't think that really answers your question, but I hope it's helpful in some way

I wasn't sure whether it was just the way I was reading your post when I responded but thought I should anyway just in case.  I'm glad that you have found a professional to talk to and feel better about your appointment.

I do understand Sister. I guess after reading my post again the wording was not good. I have had a good talk to my GP today and feel much better about going to the Radiologist on Monday and Oncologist the following Monday. I do thank you for your reply. Best Wishes. 😍

ILC is the variant of cancer - it does not refer to where it has spread.  It stands for Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (IDC is ductal and is the most common) - both of these can spread to the lymph nodes.  Have you had a professional (GP, Breast Care Nurse, etc) go through your path report with you?  It may be worth doing so to understand what is being proposed.
