hi all

following my oncologist appointment yesterday I asked her I feel my lymph node on my clavicle and she had me get it biopsied today

anyone else had BC in this node? I already know I have at least one axilla node cancerous but she said when doing the biopsy today it was only very slightly enlarged by like 0.3mm and could be reactive due to recent chest infection which was treated with 10 days of antibiotics...but obviously I'm concerned

    I had a positive supraclavicular node, which prompted full staging scans, which then revealed a lesion on my hip bone. Stage 4 within two weeks from lump to tests to diagnosis. I was told that if I just had the supraclav node, I would have been technically stage 3 but they still would have treated me as stage 4. Hopefully, it’s nowhere else for you, good luck 🙂

    Hi there. I have just been told I have a supraclavicular LN that is 4mm x 9 mm and several other LN up to 6mm in size.

    Lump on neck has gotten larger since December

    I am waiting to see GP after the weekend to discuss biopsy.

    BC in family with 2 close relatives so very worried

    Hi MumtoFour,

    From what we are reading, you do not have a breast cancer diagnosis, correct. So, this is a very different situation. Did they already biopsy, or are you thinking that is what they will want to do?
