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.

- I couldn't face today without a good night sleep first so I cheated and took a Restavit. Ahhhh, so much better. Ready to tip toe forward.
- Oh @Blossom1961 not the news you want and nor is that local breast nurse. Send her packing as you don't need that. Hope you can get to see/talk to your oncologist soon and get a plan to tackle this. Thinking of you 💐
- The chest wall is definitely cancer according to the biopsy. the clavicle is a wait and see. I am near my original BC specialists but my wonderful Oncologist I found in Shepparton is still involved at my request as is the BC nurse who has been brilliant. My first contact this time around with the local BC Nurse is when she rang me to abuse me for not keeping her updated.
- @Blossom1961, this does not sound good but hopefully this will end up being a non-event for you.
Have you moved far away from your usual specialists and supports ?
Let me know if you are still 'local' and I can help you. 💖 - I hope your big move went off OK & that you didn't do any heavy lifting xx
BIG HUGS coming your way - definitely get out there if you can, doing things you love doing .....
Do you have a breast care nurse to go with you to the Dr tomorrow? xx Or someone 'knowledgeable' who can help you understand what they are saying xx
Our thoughts are with you xx - Oh that’s not good, but little you can do. I hope your oncologist rings soon, waiting is awful. Clean the oven or do
anything laborious that can take your mind off it all for a while. - Suspicious lesion on clavicle and chest wall under node. Probably having PET scan. Am I okay? NO.
- The Dr has my results but won't share until I see them tomorrow. The Onco is on holidays but will supposedly be ringing me later today. This is NOT good. I feel sick and have to keep telling myself to breathe.
- I am offlne for a couple days as we are moving tomorrow. I have my surgeon appt on Tuesday so will know more then. Thank you all for your support.
- Hi @Blossom1961. I have just caught up with your news as we are away and have limited computer access. That is terrible news, hopefully the rotter is contained in a small area and easily beaten. Is your scan at the Base or SJOG ? Thinking of you. 💖
