What's normal?
Hi all
im 38 yo diagnosed with stage III invasive Ductal carcinoma, bilateral. Lymph node positive on the right.
im having Neo adjuvant chemotherapy - and have had 3 cycles of AC so far.
To me, the tumour doesn't feel much different - although I have a fibroadenoma and fibrous breast tissue also so it's hard to tell.
After this round of chemo I've had a lot of stabbing type pains in both breasts and under both arms (despite being lymph node positive on the right only).
Is that normal? Should I be concerned about progression of disease? Or could the pain be from the chemo doing what it's meant to do? Has anyone else experienced this?
Im seeing my oncologist next Tuesday and will discuss with him. I've decided to go ahead with bilateral mastectomy- perhaps he will recommend having that sooner rather than later and competing chemo after.
Thanks for reading X
