Hiya 

Thanks so much for all of your support whilst I am panicking and going crazy with worry 

I had a “ surprise “ ultrasound of my left breast ( the “ good” one) to check something they’d spotted a few weeks back ! Followed by biopsies of this lump or whatever it is 

Then they surprised me with a liver ultrasound just after which I was not expecting , was a bit pointless because they couldn’t see what they needed to …

So then I had to travel to a different appointment at 1pm with my consultant to get CT scan results . Turns out the cancer is in right breast and  numerous nodes in axilla as they had already told me but the CT had also picked up liver lesions ?!! They said I have some liver cysts and a haemangiola ( sp) but the other lesions needed a further look so I now need to wait for an MRI 

obviously I am back in a spin again . I thought that cancer spread after infecting  all the lymph nodes in that entire area  ( eg chest ) then escaped to other parts of the body but I was clearly wrong there 

Has anyone had any experience of this ? 
lots of love

  • Hi Dollydimple, sorry to hear that you have to wait for more tests. When I had a CT scan they also noticed something on my liver which they described as a lesion or haemangioma but the subsequent MRI scan showed that it was just a harmless haemangioma, which is quite common. They arranged for the MRI scan quite quickly so hopefully you won't have too long a wait. What grade / type of cancer do you have and have you already had some surgery? x

  • Hey Wave tone1 

    I have ER + HER- I don’t know the grade tho 

    haven’t had any treatment at all as yet 

    Lesions just sound scary , I’m glad yours was ok Ok hand 

    I hope I can still have treatment and it’s nothing major , the anxiety is unreal isn’t it 

    how you doing ?
