Hi Trixie,

Welcome to our forum,

I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis and know only too well how frightening this can be. I expect that they are doing these scans because it is in your lymph nodes. Let me reassure you that it is perfectly normal for many of us to have CT or MRI scans to rule out any spread, as much as to find and locate it.

Much of how you are feeling at present is down to the fear of the unknown. Believe it or not, you will feel better once you know exactly what you are dealing with and start to treat it.

I have had two bouts of breast cancer in the past 11 years and have had quite a number of these scans in that time. Fortunately, they  have never found any spread.

I sincerely hope that you will find the same.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
