No primary tumor; only tumor cells in nodes of neck.

New user -Gooddog. Hi Everybody. I am wondering if anyone out there has a Breast Ca presented like mine. Several enlarged lymph nodes in the spinal accessory chain on the right side of my neck. Removal of 1 node showed dead cells, inflammatory cells, and a rim of breast cancer cells. PET-scan revealed no other tumor sites on my body. I just did 4-cycles of A/C and am now doing 4-cycles of taxotere. Any one out there like me or know of someone like me? Thanks for your replies!

    Sorry so long to reply, its been kinda crazy around here, with site changes and all. I don't know anyone w/ what you're describing. At least cells were dead, and PET scan negative, still doesn't make chemo any easier. You might want to do some research, good sites include:
    nih.gov
    cancer.gov
    mdanderson
    webMD
    that should get you started! Hope you come back and give us another chance to properly welcome you. God bless. hummingbyrd
