Hi lovely ladies.I don’t know if anyone can offer me any advice? I havea stage 2 breast tumour that measures 4.5cm.My lymphnodes are clear.My chemo starts on 20th of Feb.I can feel the lump getting bigger and harder.The nurses do not seemed concerned about what i am saying as it might be bruising or scar tissue.I am getting growingly concerned and upset.Also if you do not start chemo for 3 weeks after lymphnode biopsy could the cancer pass through while I am waiting ? very confused ?
Hi
Have you had surgery yet to remove the lump?

Hi, its all so worrying isn’t it, but I don’t think that the cancer would spread in the time before you start chemo. In most cases surgery,chemo doesnt start until about 4 weeks after diagnosis. I was diagnosed in the September and had my surgery end of October then chemo about 4 weeks after. I remember after my biopsy I was convinced that the lump was bigger but it was swelling from the biopsie’s. It’s great that your nodes seem clear :smileyhappy: Maybe ask the nurses on here I’m sure they would help. Good luck xx
