lymph node involvement
I was diagnosed on March 7 so still new to all of this. I haven't got a surgery booking yet but am told it should be this month. I have also had 6 core biopsy's, chest xrays, blood tests, ultrasounds...
Hi Brenda
I do have osteoarthritis really bad in my neck but was not sure what the connection was between the positive lymph node and bone scan but at the time I thought about metastasis and then thought of my work collegaue who is now palliative. Went into a bit of blind panic at that stage. <sigh>
Your explanation has helped. I am 52 and generally fit and healthy. I rang the breast nurse yesterday and she also said it is unlikely the cancer has spread but if it has they will give me Chemo first then surgery. My 2 lovely breast nurses are my lifeboat and I always feel better after speaking to them.
