i am in shock I think, I had fat grafting 7 weeks ago and developed a pain in my sternum, Dr thought it was down to the fat he had injected into my cleavage, which made sense as I have been fit and healthy and regularly went to the gym and did a hard workout. However, the pain just wouldn’t go and moved upwards, I then started having a feel around as I was getting a little worried and found a small lump in my neck. I was given an ultrasound and told that all the lymph nodes in my neck were enlarged, so a biopsy was taken. I got the results last Thursday - all my lymph nodes in my neck are infected, I’ve been told the cancer has gone right through them which has frightened me no end. They now think the pain in my chest may be lung mets or chest wall nodes infected, I am scheduled for a CT scan on Thursday but I’ve been told it’s inoperable and very very serious. I am frightened that it may have gone to my brain and that I may be too late for any treatment. I. Just can’t get my head around it, 6 weeks ago I was fighting fit and now I’m going to die. Has anyone else had all their neck nodes infected and gone on to receive treatment that helped?

Hi Barbarella,
I’m so sorry you are going through this and I think once you know what treatment you are going to have for this, you will start feeling better and feel like something is being done. It’s so hard waiting and wondering while you’re going through scans. I can understand you feeling frightened and that’s completely understandable. I’m sure there are other ladies here who are going through treatment which may be similar and can provide some advice. There are lots of treatments out there, but initially, when you’re feeling vulnerable as you most likely are right now, you need somebody to tell you what those treatment options are and how they will work and you probably want to get started as quickly as possible. I hope you get your answers quickly so that you can begin some treatment.
Hugs

Hi Barbarella, you have had a big shock and you need to be kind to yourself and process the information slowly. Everyone reacts to the shock differently but we have all been there and know how you are feeling. Once you settle into your treatments, it does get better and there are plenty out there so don’t despair.
I have learnt such a lot from this forum and it’s very comforting to know that I’m not the only one going through this. I’m sure that you will too, given time. Best of luck xxxx
