Anyone had breast tumor invade the chest wall muscle?

@worried1111 I have a chest abnormality (pectus excavatum) where the left side of my rib cage is lower than the right side. My cancer had invaded the tissues beside it. At the time of my mastectomy (left side only), I weighed 85 lbs. My surgeon could not remove the cancer that had invade the area near my rib cage because it would have left a hole in my skin that could not be repaired. Thank you for telling me about sugar. I didn't know that it would make my cancer worse. I've been eating a lot high-protein foods that I hope will help.

@jwhitt17 hang in there! I am glad you are doing protein to (I assume) to keep your muscles/strength up. I hope you can add lots of veggies for micro-nutirents.
I presented with a cancer that has already invaded my chest wall and skin, besides the breast and lymph nodes so after IV chemo and surgery I staryed that reguime. Hugs, hugs, hugs!
I started Zeloda (an oral chemo) during radiation which I know is mostly used for type 4/cancer in blood.
And there are lots of oral medications now to help if the tumor is positive, so that is a help .
Sending you lots of love!
