Hello everyone not sure where to start so i will give you a little background about myself.
December 2016 found lump in right breast biopsies done and boom Jan 2nd 2017 Stage 3 HER2 breast cancer. Full treatment, chemo, lumpectomy and 12 cancerous lymph node removal followed by radiotherapy. 2nd June 2018 benign tumour removed from spine via left hip and thankfully no other treatment.
Fast forward to this year reoccurring UTI's anyways following examination locum female doctor found lymph nodes were swollen in groin so then checked my armpits and yes they were raised which i couldnt understand as had had them removed. She asked if I had any other symptoms which I replied "well oddly enough few some weeks had been suffering with itchy armpits". She then asked if i was still under the Breast Clinic which i am and told me to make urgent appointment as she told me can get cancer in the lymph nodes. So can imagine my anxiety has now gone through the roof as coming up to my 5 year anniversary.
Since the examination i've now looked at the scar tissue and noticed rather than it being hard which is normal, its now hollow and fit finger tip in and the same breast looks different and dimpled again, so now im fearing the worse again.
I was advised will possibly do biopsies of lymph nodes on 13th December and again will be the agonising 2 week wait for the results over Christmas period again.
I am curious if anyone else has had cancer of the lymph nodes and where do i go from here.
Thank you for reading, just needed somewhere to rant rather than burden my younger sisters with my worries and fears.
