Dear Susan,
I surely hope that the lump isn't cancerous. Hopefully because you have been having chemo it is something else.
Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi

Susan
I hope it is just a cyst...the pain makes it sound like one. I will be sending good thoughts and prayers for good results...you have been there and done that and once is enough for any of us.

with active chemo and Herceptin you are doing, the chance of having another cancer is not likely. Hope the best and keep your chin up. I am praying for you.

Thank you all for posting such wonderful words of encouragement. I have great news to report. I had a mamo & ultrasound done yesterday, and everything is just fine. Most likley a syst. It had gotten much smaller, and was no longer painful by the time I arrived at my appointment yesterday.
I was sooo happy when the doctor gave me the good news. I was really freaking out prior to that. Thanks again for posting. I really appreciate it !
Love to All
