Hi, Of course there is....Treatment should be aggressive and many survive breast cancer stage 3 C. Stages 3 c breast cancer may be treated with a mastectomy, surgery, radiation and/or hormone therapy. Stage 3 - C cancer of the breast is subdivided into two more classifications to differentiate them better. The two types of stage 3 - C carcinoma differ from each other because one is operable while the other is non - operable.

methylating agents, DNA topoisomerase inhibitors, cisplatin), as well as radiation, against a broad spectrum of tumors (e.g. glioma, melanoma, lymphoma, colorectal cancer, head and neck tumors).

As I said in my previous post a spiculated mass is highly suspicious,but one never knows for sure until a biopsy is done. Architectural distortion by itself is not a diagnosis of breast cancer. It just means that the tissue in the breast has been altered or disturbed. Microcalcification is a normal part of the aging process.In some situations, they can form around cancerous or precancerous conditions.

Hi Sandy, not that I know of, it's usually used to diagnose tumors such as in the breast or abdomen and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is used as a treatment for prostrate cancers to destory the cells. I'm a survivor and I've been in a car accident and had treatments on my neck and I have to say they helped with healing and the pain alot, I have 3 herniated disks.

Hello and hope you are doing well. The swelling, it's most probably an infected pimple, which has resolved. The 'lump' could also be a sebaceous cyst, a lipoma, or lymph nodes. They could also be herpes infections, cysts, yeast infections and infected hair follicles. If there is accompanying swelling, redness, discharge and fever it is most probably an infection. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and initiate appropriate therapy.

FYI - All other x-rays, MRIs did not show any signs of metastatic cancer and I had 2 nodes postive with a tumor approx. 2 cm. Clear margins on the lumpectomy and the nodes were not attached to anything else. ER/PR+, HER2 neg, and all other results from biopsy of lymph nodes were favorable.

I have had several MRI's and CT Scans but they can not see any bony tumors in the skull or neck and the there appears to be no tumors along the nerves. Because it seems to be affecting my nerves bilaterally,I have them very confused. Any ideas?

My youngest sister's thyroid cancer had spread into her breasts. Both thyroid and breast cancers are hormone driven cancers. Get the mammogram. Please keep us posted.

Hello everyone, I have just been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, I had breast cancer 16 years ago. My question is, since the beginning of the year I have had a dreadful cough. I have also had severe bouts of being really poorly, sickness, loss of appetite and losing weight. My G.P. did a breathing test and with the results diagnosed asthma and put me on an inhaler. I maintained from the start I felt the inhalers were not helping.

After reading here, I thought you might be able to give some insight to me. Docs tell you stuff, but it is great hearing from the people who have been thru this. I have had two negative biopsies on my 2.5 mm nodule and it is complex (hard and soft). It has grown for the third time now and at about 1cm per year. Doc says take it out... mom just had thyroid cancer as well as parathyroid tumors when they went in. I guess I am the product of "caution" now because of family history.

I don't see anywhere in your post that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer so this is pretty much out of our realm of expertise here as we deal strictly with Breast Cancer issues. This seems to be an issue for Internal Medicine or possibly Cancer in General/ Oncology. I can answer your last question : 1. nodule -- a fairly hard more or less round abnormal structure. 2. node -- similar to the nodule except that it is not an abnormal finding. 3.

My mothers Breast Cancer Biopsy report says ER- Positive(9/9) 90% nuclear staining with strong intensity PR- Weakly Positive(2/9) 5% nuclear staining with weak intensity Cerb-2 Negative Impression: Left modified redical mastectomy: Infilrating ductal carcinoma grade III with metastasis to regional lymph nodes. Will the new invented "Single-Dose Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy" be effective for her As per the news I have read in the URL "http://www.themedguru.

One once poked out by my liver and I had it removed. I have had breast cancer, gallbladder removed, etc. I'm not fat and very active. I have questioned if this has something to do with Hep C. I just had this fatty tumor by my liver removed last year.

This report indicates a locally advanced breast cancer. There is cancer involving the nipple, breast tissue, 15 of 15 lymph nodes removed as well as multiple nodules within the fat pad. The recommendation of AC + T is appropriate. Did they test for Her2/neu receptors? If these are positive, herceptin may be an option for the future.

I have been around the cancer scene, beginning with a breast cancer diagnosis much like yours in terms of stage and aggressiveness. I have had chemo, also TAC, hormone treatment, (which is not indicated for you) and radiation. Over the past three years since first diagnosis My cancer has advanced and spread and I have had more treatments, both with chemo and radiation. And then of course surgery, a total mastectomy. Chemo can be repeated or switched, but once you have an area radiated, i.

I HAVE A LOT OF SWELLING IN THE NECK AREA.,THEY TOOK A LARGE TUMOR OFF MY THYROID,THAT WAS CANCEROUS,ALSO I HAVE A LARGE DARK SHADOW ,AND A CIST ON MY LEFT BREAST.BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW S WHY IM SWELLING.I SWELL SO BAD SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IM CHOKING,DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS,OR FAMILIAR ISSUES THAT THEY HAVE DELT WITH,OR BEEN DIOGNOSED . IM REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS OCCURS.

I HAD INVASIVE DUCTAL 5 CM TUMOR AND INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER AT THE SAME TIME. HER2 POSITIVE AND LYMPH NODES IN ARM AND NECK INVOLVE.

I had other fibroids removed, 1 in my arm and 1 in my neck, all benign, so I really thought the lump they found in my breast would simply be some sort of cyst or fibroid growth or fatty tumor. Not, it was cancer! I am not trying to scare you, but I just hope you or your docotr are taking this cyst seriuos.

I was just thinking if mine does spread I would like to catch it early before and symptons appear. Like breast cancer when symptons appear it is usually harder to treat. But then again yearly test exposes you to more radiation. I hurt really bad all over sometimes. I think that comes from the tamoxifen. But now that I have these 4 cyst that pop up on my ovaries I am more concerned. I will make my appointment for my PCP tomorrow and when I go I am going to ask for a CAT scan.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer,went through chemotherapy,then had the breast removed.About a year later, she got checked and the cancer had returned and had spread to the lungs.She was given 6mo.-1yr to live.She has some lumps on her neck,coughs constantly,spits up blood sometimes,has no appetite usually,throws up what she does eat,and usually just sleeps a lot.How can I tell when the cancer has spread to other organs and how long she has left?

However, after I had my right mastectomy the path report found NO cancer in my breast and since the tumor in my node was almost identical to my original cancer in my left breast, the doctors are assuming that this is metatastic. My pet scan in Jan showed NO other areas of involvment, so they are alittle baffled as to why the ct and us showed a suspesious area on my spleen so soon. New pet scan is scheduled for Thursday.

Welcome. Sorry it's not under better circumstances. I'm confused, you said you're diagnosed with Hashi's but your TSH level looks good - are you on thyroid meds and if so what dose? You've already picked up that GravesLady is the labs goddess - I'll leave those to her. One thing I noticed though (and I'm a novice at labs so take it for what it's worth) with your ANA count and some of the other labs being off, have you discussed with your endo other autoimmune diseases aside from Hashi's?

Hi there i am asking anyone, i have stage 4 breast cancer and lumps in my neck are in operable i had chemo and 25 radation treatments that did not work. Now since my radation treatments which i was in the hosptial for two weeks for servere burns will not heal i don't no if it is because of the cancer or what. i am at my wit end can anyone help me understand.

My mother was diagnosed with BC in 2004 at the age of 50. She ended up having a double mastectomy and started chemo. The results of the surgery were that her tumor was 5cm, was NOT in her nodes, but HER2 levels were high. After 6 months of chemo and a PETScan, we found out that her cancer had spread to her pelvic area (in the bones). They started her on hormonal therapy which seemed to have shrunk the cancer.
