I finished by chemo yesterday and they found new masses in both breasts today.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    How may treatments of chemo did you have. Were they planning on radation? How big was your turmor? Did you have a lumpectomy.

    Thank you for responding to my message. I had a 1.2 cm tumor removed from my right breast in October. Since then I have had 6 chemo treatments, every three weeks (F-5U, Adryamiacin and Cytoxin). I finished this past Thursday and was elated until I did a breast exam and found the masses. I have fiber-cyctic breast disease, maybe that is what the masses are. I am due to start radiation in a month. I am to have new mams and ultrasound on both breasts this coming
    thursday. The weird thing is that the masses are in almost identical places in each breast .It is probably nothing, but I am feeling very defeated at this point.

    Try not to worry about it, they are probably fibrocystic changes. My breast are so lumpy you can't tell the cysts from the tumors with out a program. LOL I freaked after my lumpectomy, as soon as my breast was not too sore to examine I felt this huge lump right where the cancer had been! I thought great he went in and didn't even get what he was going after. Turns out to be scar tissue. Unfortunately, everything you fell now, ache, pain, cough, upset tummy is going to be 'cancer', but it won't be so don't let fear run or ruin your life.
