Suggest Treatment For Breast Cancer
Question: Hi, I am concerned and having trouble sleeping. I was DX with Stage T1CNO bilateral breast cancer. I went through the maximal bilateral radiation and feel very confident in my physicians at XXXXXXX Farber. They are amazing. My concern, and of course this is private, is that I have developed veins on my breasts. I will be following up with my amazing team of doctors next month, but, I worry constantly about mest CA. I am an ICU RN. It would be very helpful either way to understand if this new clinical presentation is meaningful.
Thank you, XXXXXXX
Thank you, XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be metastasis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX The obvious veins in the breast are unlikely to be signs of metastasis. They are more so due to the radiation per se. Migratory thrombophlebitis as you must have heard is more common in abdominal cancers and is usually seen in limbs. So dont worry about it and discuss it with your Onco team. Take care and relax.
