right breast being tender and swollen
 |
Sep 08, 2010 - 1:22 am
I had an exam today and told my surgeon about my right breast being tender and swollen. Has anyone heard of Colorectal cancer spreading the breast? My right breast is larger and quite tender. It has been since I stopped FOLFOX back in Feb. It has been a slow process since February. Mickey |

Good that you are questioning....
Not a normal spot for mets from CRC, but, I ended up with Stage II breast cancer, primary site, at the same time as Stage III rectal cancer...so, yes, you can get cancer more than once, different types.
I agree with the researchers who are focusing on the immune system. Once compromised (cancer does it, and other autoimmune diseases), it's much easier for cancer to establish a beachead.
I'm sending my warmest hugs, please keep us posted!

BRAC tested?
Has your doctor recommended for a BRAC genetic test? Colon cancer and breast cancer are sometimes linked genetically by BRAC gene mutation. I was given a brochure on this and recommended for testing due to the fact I had colon cancer before age 50 and another immediate family member has male breast cancer. I haven't done it yet. Just trying to get through my first year post resection first. Just wondered if anyone had mentioned it to you.
Get your mammogram as soon as possible!

Guitar?
Mine has been a bit sore too but not enlarged. I did have a RFA done on it a few weeks ago but I also play guitar and I think part of it is how I hold my axe. I sometimes lean over it and it digs into that area.
Nice guitar, looks like a LP. It ain't no Strat!
I have some photos of mine on my expressions page. I have a Epi LP Jr that looks similar to that one you are holding (plus 9 others...)
Do you think it could be partly the guitar? It does look like you are holding it more like a classical so who knows....
Hope you figure it out.

Morning Phil. I know after
Morning Phil. I know after 35 years of playing guitar, the only thing that affects is my back, shoulder and neck. I think this has something to do with my weight loss.

Clean bill
Both test came back negative, ultra sound and Mammogram. Damn, the mamogram hurt. I will never tease my wife again about the mammogram.

I am glad everything came
I am glad everything came back clean. Yes, we women do go through some uncomfortable procedures. I am glad you will be kinder to your wife re:mammograms.
