Lumps of the mastectomy scar
Hi! I had a lumpectomy, at the age of 40, for Lcis in the right breast in 2017. In the same year, I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction because I could not control my anxiety. In 2019, I did lipofilling, after which oily cysts formed in both breasts. 2 days ago I had an ultrasound scan because a lump appeared on…

Self Examination after Mastectomy
I had an appointment today with my BS. I asked about a small lump I found near my breast bone. It's painful. I guess he couldn't feel it, but it is there, because I can feel it. His comment to me was to "leave the examination to the experts, breast surgeons and medical oncologists and stop doing self examinations!" I…

Endoscopy today
Aside from the delay (1 hour late, stewing in my anxiety), the procedure went well. I was shocked they took 4 biopsies. I'm going to the ugly place. First concern is mets from lobular to throat or stomach…or would it be worse if it were a new primary gastric cancer. UGH.

The Edge of the Ledge
I had a CBC blood test done on May 30, the first since January. I had my last chemo in November. I opened the results today and found a few things that were marked as "High" and others that seemed to be on their way up. Specifically, the MPV and BUN creat ratio are high. Calcium has reached the high end of normal at 10.1.…

Needing a ultrasound
I had a small bruise on my right breast. I got a script from my doctor for my mammogram from the physician’s assistant. I had the mammogram on Monday night. The hospital imaging called me back the next morning and recommended I come back. They found a 1cm asymmetry nodule on the right breast. They recommend an ultrasound…

CT and Lung Nodules
I cannot find my previous thread, but this is my newest CT scan. So far I have had them in November, January, April, and today. I had a PET in November that lit up on a couple of spots in my left lung and three level 2 cervical nodes. Currently on a watch and see. Anyone have some information on this newest scan? Not…
