Hi, have a 2.5 cm hard lump & swollen lymph nodes near it in my right breast. Can benign lumps cause swollen lymph nodes? Awaiting my results next Friday. Had mammogram, ultrasound, & biopsy. I’m pretty sure I’d like this lump removed!

I am almost 3 years post lumpectomy with radiotherapy. I have found a row of lumps leading from my node biopsy site and radiating down my arm. I have an appointment with my GP on Tuesday and the breast clinic on Thursday. I was on Letrozole but had to change to exemastine due to adverse effects. Can you get a recurrence while on hormone therapy?

Hi Laney,
Hormone therapy is very effective in reducing the risk of recurrance, so hopefully all is well & there is another reason for your symptoms.
Although anxiety is inevitable, you’re doing what you need to in getting it all checked out.

I dodged a bullet yesterday. It turns out that I have thrombophlebitis. In other words…cording. I wasn’t aware that I could develop this so long after the op. My thoughts are with you ladies that you can get through this and look forward to a long and happy life. Thank you for your support during my recent struggle.
