I am currently on weekly taxol #9 after having 4 rounds of AC. After my second cycle of AC I noticed lumps on my good breast and had it checked out. I do get a lot of fluid filled cysts. It turned out to be a bunch of fluid filled cysts. I had an ultrasound done. I had it checked out again a month later. This morning I can feel two huge cysts/lumps on that same breast but higher up. They seem bigger and it's really freaking me out. I haven't been paying attention to that breast or doing self examination the last month. I should have. I have been preoccupied with trying to get through my taxol. Did anyone get cysts during chemo. I am worried that this might turn out to be something besides just a cyst. If you are on chemo is it possible to get another cancer on the other breast? Isn't something as powerful as AC and taxol supposed to prevent that. I know some ladies get chemo to shrink their tumor and then surgery. It's at Saturday and I can't get in to see any doctor until Monday.

    Septmom, take a deep breath, I'm sure it's just a normal cyst, but check with your MO on mon. I have always had one cyst on my dx side and found it became more sensitive during chemo. My MO assured me the chemo would reduce it if cancerous and it showed to be fluid filled on US. I know it's so hard to relax during all of this. You will feel better after asking your MO and they are very use to being asked to check our fears. Try and have a good week end.:)

    Thanks! I will try to relax. They feel soft and appear to be movable. I will ask my MO on Monday
