Hi Sassy, thanks, I have been off air for a few days I have felt nauseas and no energy, this is unlike me, I don't know if it is the combination of pain meds or the oral chemo, I just know I don't like the feeling. I agree with the girls, I have had lumps you could see and feel and still not show up on a CT or Scan and only been detected on a MRI, I don't have access to a PET as yet. Even my last diagnoses in the breast has not shown on ultrasound or mammo just biopsy. I have always been lucky enough to feel mine and they are just has it says a lump, a lump that wasn't there before. I always use to worry I would run out of glands, until I worked it out that the lump is actually trapped cancer cells in the lymph and when they are either destroyed by chemo or radiation the lump settles back down to a lymph node again. I had 16 out of 16 removed and they were all positive without a clear margin. I have been chasing them since 1998 and my onc has always said they won't kill me which is reassuring. Hope this helps, feel free to ask away.
Love & Hugs Lyn
