Lymph nodes

Offline Sbroo over 5 years ago

Hi, I had a mastectomy two weeks ago and have just had the follow up call which I was dreading.The consultant said although it was big, 12cm, they got it all. 14 lymph nodes were taken but they couldn't find anything then so they are doing further tests to make sure? He said if they did find anything it would be very mild. I will be having chemo and radiotherapy. Does this sound familiar to anyone else who had lobular breast cancer?

Thank you.

Hey

im sorry that I can't give you any advice about if what you are experiencing is familiar but I just wanted to ask you what symptoms you had which led you to get a diagnosis?

Hi,
I could feel a hardness above my nipple, not really a lump as such. Are you worried about something?

I have a lump on my armpit which is a swollen lymph node and it was really painful sore and tender the doctors gave antibitocs which helped to reduce the swelling by 50% and relieve the pain but it's still swollen and I'm so worried. I do know some infected lymph nodes don't go back to original size but I feel like my ones really big I would said a big fat grape around 3cm or more

I guess it is definitely worth following it up again, if only to put your mind at rest x
