In a state of shock. I am either going to vomit or pass out. I just had three biopsies of a "something" that "might" be a "nothing" my right axilla. Either a cyst or cancer. Seriously, after 8 rounds of TAC, something didn't get killed?


I can't do this again.

    I don't know what to say except I hope with all my heart it turns out to be nothing. If it makes you feel better I had a cyst under my arm a few months ago - never had anything like that before cancer - I hope it's the same for you. (((hugs)))

    Mamabee,


    Thank you so very much for responding to me! I got the call today and pathology was negative. Your response meant so much to me... I came right away to BCO because I didn't want to worry anyone else.

    Hey Jenifer! Yay! So glad it was nothing. We did TAC chemo at the same time and you're my hero for choosing to do 2 extra rounds of that crap :-). There's no way cancer coming back after that, right? Take care.

    I'm happy to hear things turned out OK. I have a suspicious lump myself and am scared to death. Ultrasound scheduled for Monday afternoon.

    Whew! So glad it's benign!!!! It seems like a lot of us in our flap cohort have had oil cysts that scared the hell out of us. I was so relieved to find out it was nothing serious. Take care!

    Having my mass removed just before Thanksgiving was really tough. I couldn't believe that my boyfriend, family, and me were going through yet another holiday with a scary black cloud close at hand. I've been reading all about local and regional recurrence and how it impacts survival statistics and starting to resign myself to the worst.
