Question 1

22yrs old mammogram normal enlarged right axillary lymph node 7mm left axillary lymph node 3mm waiting biopsy results. family history breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Be patient: Even with a family history of breast cancer, it would be very rare for a 22 yo to have the disease. You only have about a 14-15% chance of developing breast cancer, unless there are multiple family members who have the disease. There are many reasons for lymph nodes to enlarge, many benign, so just wait for the results. Good luck.

Question 2

breast lump and axillary lymph node biopsy scheduled in 9 days. new lymph nodes in groin and sever pain in breast do i need to have the biopsy sooner?

Accepted Answer

Progression: Please call both your regular doc and your surgeon with this change. Nodes developing in other areas and the breast lump possibly increasing in size needs to be evaluated in the next few days.

Question 3

is it possible to have cancer in one axillary lymph node and there to be no cancer in the breast?

Accepted Answer

Cancer node/breast: yes depends on where cancer is from and kind.

Question 4

i have a 1.1 x 107 cm axillary node and shooting pains in breast. was wondering what size that was and should i be concerned about breast cancer.

Accepted Answer

Axillary nodes: If there is breast pain along with the axillary lymph node, you MUST get evaluated by a breast surgeon for biopsy to exclude cancer. It is very important that you seek a consultation immediately.

Question 5

does the breast cancer grows faster in a year?well defined 
lobulated solid mass lesion & enlarged intra axillary lymph node specify cancer ?

Accepted Answer

Yes possible: First  please see your doctor and find out what it is,  66 yr old with breast mass need serious investigation.    investigation.

Question 6

left breast is bruised, not sure why and in my left armpit my axillary lymph node is very hard and large, can't really be seen unless close up. cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Cancer is very unlikely in this situation, especially in a 16 year old. However, this issue needs to be evaluated. See a doctor.

Question 7

can nuerontin cause high suv on a pet scan had breast caner 5 years ago, got a ouple of lumps on my nek, took a pet scan, show lymph nodes under arms, groin, chest, foreman of winslow, and others showed high suv, biopsy from under arm was neg. for lymphom

Accepted Answer

Neurontin (gabapentin) : Neurontin (gabapentin) in very rare circumstances can in fact cause lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), but given your history I am very glad that you had a biopsy.  Please discuss this carefully with your oncologist given your history.  I will wish the best for you.

Question 8

i had breast cancer in 2015. it had not spread beyond the breast as shown by the sentinel node biopsy. i had a routine low dose ct scan, to check for lung cancer. lungs are clear. some mildly prominent mediastinal and axillary nodes. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

: Although a "negative sentinel node" biopsy does not always mean breast cancer is not outside the breast, the "mildly prominant" mediastinal/axillary nodes may be incidental and reflect processes secondary to lung disorders over time (reactive nodes).  See your oncology physician for more detail and follow up guidance.

Question 9

how quickly you get the results from laboratories on a breast lump biopsy?

Accepted Answer

1-3 days: This varies quite a bit from hospital to hospital.  At my hospital, biopsies from the breast center are made top priority so that the results will return in 1 day, provided that it is received by 3pm. Pathology reports following breast cancer surgery may take a little longer, on the order of 2-3 days.  Special studies such as tumor markers may take as long as a week.

Question 10

is it normal to have a lump and hardness a week after a needle breast biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, normal: It is normal for the breast to be tender and firm at the biopsy site (or surgery).  This is part of the body's normal response to trauma/procedure.
It can take 4-8 weeks for the firmness to decrease and it feel like your normal breast tissue. If it does not resolve, then follow up with your physician.
