    July 6, I had my final chemo (6 treatments...1 every 3 weeks of taxotere/cytosin sp?). Finshed 7 weeks of radiation on September 19th.  Here I am on October 26 with a lump under my right arm...same side where lump was removed from my breast in February. I have a biopsy on Thursday.  Am I afraid? YES!  Could I have at least be treatment free for a year before finding something else!!!  Anyone else experience something like this so soon after treatment.  Oh by the way triple negative!  Just a bit worried here...

    Of course your worried!!!!!!

    You have every right. Im glad your getting it seen to. It could be a swollen lymoh node and it can be swollen for a variety of reasons. Try not to panick, I know, easier said than done.

    <sigh> I hate the waiting room!!!!

    I agree with lexislove - this is very scary, but there is a real chance this is something non-cancerous :>  Waiting is so hard so hang in there and keep us updated.  I'll be sending you benign wishes!!  lisa

    Don't borry worry (easy to say huh).  Lymph nodes swell for other reasons than cancer.     Good for you getting it checked out.     The waiting game really sucks though.

    Sending you positive thoughts.

    I finished my rads on Aug 3rd of this year and already my tumor markers are starting to slowly creep up again.

    HI
    I had something similar happen to me.  The recurrence was a couple of months after I had just finished chemo and rad.  It turned out to be insitu.  The breast was removed at this point and no further treatments.  Things have been fine since.  Hang in there it could be a lot of other things.
