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...

Hi Blossom1961,
I had a full auxiliary node clearance- about 17 removed in 2003. When I had an ultrasound( done with my mammogram) the technician found a remaining lymph node in my armpit so I guess the surgeon doesn’t always get all of them.You may have a few stray nodes and they could be enlarged for all sorts of reasons but ofcourse we immediately jump to cancer! That’s our normal reaction but hopefully it’s nothing.
