 I had my CT scan results and no sign of anything else anywhere other than breast and lymph nodes. I also had a titanium coil fitted.

Treatment plan was once every 21 days Carboplatin and Docetaxel. Followed by surgery and then more chemo. I will also be receiving Zoledronic acid throughout and for 3 to 5 years . 

However Oncology want to see me tomorrow as the MRI results are in and the lump is much larger than they thought. Plus they found a lesion in my other breast. They want to talk to me face to face to discuss the implications regarding surgery. 

My guess is that they may now suggest a mastectomy and in which case why bother with the first rounds of chemo. 

Any clues? Has this happened to anyone else?
