Anyone had breast tumor invade the chest wall muscle?
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Mar 12, 2023 | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
Has this happened to you, or are you worried about this happening to you? I am worried about this happening to me, because of the placement of my tumor. I found this article, Ultrasound May Help Detect Chest Wall Recurrence After Mastectomy at an Early Stage. Ying Wang et. al. J. Ultrasound Med. 2020, Dec. I would like to have information on this subject too. I hope people can weigh in on this.

Yes, my doctors suspect that I had some chest wall muscle involvement when I was first diagnosed several months ago. I am on anastrozole for six months to shrink the tumor and it may be clear right now. We'll know after surgery. It sounds like your tumor was in a "less than ideal place," like mine, as my doctors say.
