Hi Debbie2721,
I had a rawness on my nipple that would not heal. Light discharge. Found two (maybe part of one lump) in the ductal area that were biopsied and not estrogen/homone related. It is HER 2 related and I have two lymph nodes found in my armit area (so a second cancer diagnosis called tripple negative breast cancer). All that said and done, the good new is that my PET scan showed no other growth cells in other parts of my body other than breast and armpit area. Everyone seems to have different symptoms, diagnosis and management. I feel I am on the right course of treatment after extensive testing and biopsies with markers placed in each area. I will need a mastectomy after the Chemo. Chemo first as it will let us know if we are on the right track with the right meds to shrink and hopefully eradicate what I do have before surgury and should there be problems in the future in other areas. I am doing well after my first big infusion of 4 chemo meds plus steriods and anti-nausea meds etc.. They know so much more than when my mother was diagnosed in 1970. I am hopeful and staying the course one procedure at a time. Thank you for reaching out, anytime. Kim Sequoia
