Hi, I had a lumpectomy and full lymph node removal last December amd then a re excision in February and I've had 3 rounds of EC chemotherapy so far. My 4th round has been delayed due to me having neutrapenic sepsis and spending 8 days in hospital. Last night I found a lump but this time in my other breast. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else while they have been receiving chemotherapy? 

  • Hi Kizzi123

    sorry that your worrying over this but the best thing to do is tell your breast nurse and she will arrange to get you checked over. Hopefully it’s nothing to worry about. Did you have MRI of both breasts before your treatment?

    • Hi Hmfm, thank you for replying to me.  I have left a message this morning for one of the breast nurses to call me back., so hopefully won't have to wait too much longer to hear from them. Yes I did have an MRI on both breasts on the 2nd November before I had my lumpectomy.
  • I had a call back from my bcn and she's sending me for a rapid appointment, if I don't hear anything by next Monday then I need to call her back. Hard not to worry.

  • That’s good she’s responded to you quickly! I’m sorry your feeling awful about this. I’ve had similar feelings and time waiting is awful. Once you know what it is they will reassure you going forward x

  • Thank you, sorry to hear you've had to go through similar worry.  The waiting is the worst, your right ! Thank you for listening x
