A friend of mine is diagnosed with cancer. She found a tumor in her breast - in the left side of the breast, and definately in the breast.
Sha was operated couple of weeks ago, and now the doctors tell her that this is not breast cancer - and the tumor is not the primary tumor - which they cannot find!!!
She has taken all sorts of examinations, MR CT and Pet. Nothing found elsewere. So where is the primary tumor?

How is this possible??

And - how do they know?
