Hi, 1st time here. I’m bouncing all over. E.R. (for ulceration under breast, obvious “mound” I knew was there but had no insurance up to 2019) Ultrasound/biopsy 4-15, sent me to surgeon who said chemo to shrink, lumpectomy (his preference), and more chemo. 4-24 oncology gave me grade & stage (spoke mastectomy-ok w/ me at 57) then on to MRI, Bone Scan and CT and Echocardiogram. I go in this morning to get the new staging. Fearful to say the least. I smoke and the E.R. visit 3-31-19 saw nodules. How do they tell if metastasis or just something already there prior? I’ve read available reports and bone/organs look good but MRI wasn’t available to see yet. Trying to not worry and let Dr. give me the low-down but w/3 boys, 1 graduating tomorrow, and 3 grandkids and moderately active til now I am so afraid. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I’ll be back once I know the full story, maybe later today. Thank you again.
