I was diagnosed with Stage 1A breast CA sometime June, last year. I had modified radical mastectomy on my left breast. I am a bit worried coz just recently I was admitted for some bacterial infection. On Chest Xray, results was I quote "bilateral oblong density at the right descending blood vessels and at the left hilum suggestive of lymphadenopathies. Does  LYMPHADENOPATHY suggests recurrence or metastasis from my breast CA? Please help me overcome my fear.

Your response is highly appreciated! Thank you.

    Ellacarabio, lymphadenopathy means swollen or enlarged lymph nodes, usually associated with infection. So it looks like this was part of the infection you had.

    Hope you're feeling better now.
