Chest wall metastasis?
About a week ago I started having tenderness in one area of my right breast. The tenderness is deep so I have to push on it to feel it. At first I attributed it to upper body light weights but it’s not getting better. I have extensive scar tissue from surgery but that’s not what is tender. I also notice when I bend forward…

Lumpectomy scar pain
Eight years ago I had a lumpectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ. It resulted in a lot of scar tissue which has, for the last couple days, been painful to the touch and with certain movements.

Just so scared, sick to my stomach. I know worrying won’t help and I tell myself that but it doesn’t help. Any advice out there for me?

Enlarged lymph node above clavicle
I don't normally worry but I know my body. I have an enlarged lymph node above my clavicle. Not huge but noticeable. It's not painful, moves a little bit and has been there for over a month. I just had a check up in June and it wasn't there. They did a CT and have a tiny spot in my lung that is new also and are doing a…

Elevated ferritin?
hi all! I had my annual check up with my PCP in July. Everything was ok, only thing he showed concern about was my ferritin level. The normal range goes up to 150 and mine was 350. So not off the charts high but he definitely wants me to follow up when I see my MO at the end of this month. He mentioned some things that can…
