Atypical cells found in enlarged subraclavical node

Options

Hi there

It's a long shot but I'm hoping that someone out there may have had good news after receiving this news. I found a palpable lymph node on my left side (my breast cancer was on the right side) last week just above collar. It had been a bit tender in that area and something alerted me to it and my heart sank when I found the lump.

I went for an ultra sound which said the node looks normal and is under 1cm but they did a fine needle aspiration and today when I met with my oncologist the result is atypical cells. The path lab will carry on testing to see if it's a metastisis and I should hear on Friday or Monday.

I finished chemo 15 months ago and then went onto have radiation. I've been on aromasin and zoladex and am six weeks out of a hysterctomy. Maddening when I think of all I've done to try prevent this happening. I am 34 with two small children.

Really not feeling optimistic that the results will be none cancerous but thought I'd put it out there anyway!

Thanks in advance
