Exclamation Maree, call your oncologist!

i would strongly suggest you call your oncologist and try to get in sooner! inflamed lymph nodes may not show up on mammo or ultrasound, and skin lesions don't either. from a biostats point of view, you are statistically at the highest risk of this being cancer rather then something else. i hope it's not, but if it is, you need treatment asap. i would make sure your oncologist knows about your symptoms and i think a month is definitely too long to wait!! you have to be your own advocate as i have learned the hard way...

best of luck to you,
sara
