    Hello again.  I have no words

    Hello again.  I have no words of wisdom here, just hoping all goes well on Thursday.   I hate waiting for appointments, etc. All the worry and unknown. 

      Here's my question for you:  Is the tumor in the colon breast cancer metastasis or colon cancer?  and how will they know?  Will they do a biopsy?  

    Good luck

    Suzanne

    I'm so sorry you have to go

    I'm so sorry you have to go thru this so long after your original cancer. It seems so unfair. It sounds like your cancer team is on top of the problem and the colon is a place that can be operated on with success, so I'm hoping the very best outcome for you. Let us know how your appointment on Thurs goes...fingers crossed 000XXX

    Sending you a huge hug, and letting you know I'll be waiting with you and thinking of you Thursday, hoping for a good outcome.

    tomorrow i have a sonogram

    So tomorrow i have a sonogram and i. Just learning to use the discussion board. Im not quite aure if i am doing this right. 

     

    Ihave had a swollen lymphnode in my neck for a while and one in the crease of my tthigh and abdomen. 

     

    Anyways. Point here is i am breast feeding and i had notice a lump under my armpit when i was pregnant . my doctor had told me i needed to have it biopsied thwn in the middle of pregnancy i switched back to my old doctor. A few weeks ago i noticed it was still there because i had an unusual pain in my left breast . i saw a doctor and they put me on antibiotics for 10 days.  It did not go away. Now three weeks later i have one that just appeared under my right armpit. 

     

    My doctor told me that breast feeding could be masking breast cancer. I guess im ro optimistic to think i have cancer. I am only 22 years old.  

     

    Tthe reason for mentioning the one in my geoin area and neck is because i had forgot all about them until i just realized i had the ones inmy armpits. The one in my groin is very hard and fixed. The ones in my armpits are kind of moveable and so ia the one in my neck. 

    Im not sick i dont have any infections or anything. 

     

    So with that being said ... 

    Can a sonogram actually pick up breast cancer or lymphoma? 

    Should i be coconcerned or what could cause it besides Cancer. 

    Is this normal has anyone else had this ?

    Pat, please do keep us posted

    I'm sure you're not going to be resting easy till that thing is out of you and biopsied and you've been told, "Oh, it's nothing." While you wait, I'm going to hang on to the words of the colon doctor who thinks it's not cancer. 

    Sending you a big hug while your plan is being made.
