swelling on clavicle

Mamajen60

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. No pain and now it feels squishy on top of this mass looking oval about 2 x 3 in. It's getting prominent . Even hubby saw it when I walked into room. This comes after having pain on and off between elbow and shoulder, and thiscame before rashy very tiny raised places that I can see very well when zoomed in. Onc and rad onc basically said what rash. It's above the mast scar . Got an xray on arm, found nothing . Saw a derm and had a skin punch biopsy Friday . Cancer ibc on left side . I am told I am Ned . Wish I felt it. Have appt with onc 20th. Also going to MDA March 2nd . Can't have herceptin now because of heart . Damage. Has anyone had these symtoms. ? Of course worried about recurrance .

Hi Jen,

I've had weird aches and pains over the years, most of them come and go. I had a rash with rib pain recently and went through a bunch of tests/scans, no indication of metastatic disease. I'm sorry you are having to worry about this, but glad you have an appointment. They couldn't see you until the 20th though? Stay busy between now and then, and don't obsess over it (ha, one thing I'm terrible at!), sometimes all the poking and prodding WE do makes the pain worse!

Wishing you the best. Let us know how you're doing!

Hey Sharon , there is a commonality amongst everyone here I've noticed. Ocd . I could get in sooner but, decided to see what biopsy is. I just have to fight the dying thoughts. There I said it. I have an unbiolagical very close uncle who just went on hospice, he made it a lot longer than what was thought. He fought . Then . A first cousin here in town who is stage Iv ovarion cancer, also brac 2 gene. She too has gone a few years past what was thought. the. Aunts and uncles , cousins all dead now. Cancer of all kinds. I know having a positive attitude is a huge part of it. And I battle that all the time. Oh the thoughts. Like I said my onc said she would see me every month if that is what I want. She knows me . And is always telling me to smile and be happy. I long for those days of freedom. just like l longed for my own hair, now I have it , short, but I have it . I guess this is the slow growth of it all . The come back. I'll try not to hurt myself, self examine . You nailed it.

I'm Jen , and I admit to watching the same movie over and over everyday and all through the night . "One Christmas Eve". It's onright now . A little news lately , but then back to the same movie. Somehow that's comforting .
