invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma

Imara77

Just diagnosed last week with invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma in the left breast. Mammo showed it was 2.55cm but I am worried it could be bigger cause I have big dense breast. It is grade 1 of 3. What really has me worried is the upper back pain I have. It worries me that it has spread. I actually first felt this in Jan and went to PCP who did a digital exam and said she did not feel anything so I did not go to follow up mammo scheduled out of fear. But now I know but the back pain is what really has me freaked out. I did go to the doc for it in Jan as well and he said he felt a bulging disc and he did some manipulation and showed me exercises, During biopsy the doctor kept saying the mass was really deep so that just intensifies my fear of what is going on with my back

Have they scheduled a CT or PET scan? I had cancer in a lymph node so my surgeon ordered a scanwhich was clear and helped put my mind at ease. We tend to think every little ache and pain is cancer. Hugs to you, the beginning is the hardest part, it does get easier.
