A week ago, I was at a party & listening intently to conversations while stroking the inside of my knee. I didn't realize why -- there was a lump there, hard, rolling, connected to something. I got the exact same response in my gut instinct as I did with the tumor in the breast. That rock bottom NOOO! I am about to go to Oncologist for I guess, 3 mo follow up from end of Herceptin, (Chemo & RADs ended a year ago next month.) Markers CA-15-3 Still high. I am on charity locally, so my onco is reluctant to do anything beyond the breast. I can hear her telling me to go to the "clinic" its a popliteal cyst. Baloney.
I am so scared. It is near the outer left back of knee but up a few inches. It seems attached to that thin bone outside of knee that flexes. I had HER2neu +3 with no estro in previous breast tumors - and yes, lymph nodes removed with 2+ including sentinel.
Has anyone, with HER2neu BC had metastasis to the leg, bone, or soft tissue sarcoma? What the h could this be? Shouldn't I at least demand a biop or scan from our health clinic?
