Well my meeting with my Oncologist today has left us a little shell shocked my cancer is not curable but it is treatable and manageable. It is contained in the lymph nodes in my axilla and across my chest, the spot on my neck is causing no pain so can also be treated with the oral chemo Xeloda as well. The hope is to shrink & stabilise the cancer after 3 cycles I'll be rescanned . This is an insidious disease! I'm lucky that I had my scans this month and not in 3 months time , my prognosis could've been so much different by then. Please girls don't put off any of you checks and if your Dr suggests a biopsy just to be certain,but is also ok to wait 6 weeks and rescan you, just do the biopsy. I had an option to wait as the lymph nodes may have been inflamed due to a virus I'd had, so glad I didn't wait would've given this fkr 6 weeks longer to grow!
