Was the nature of the nodules established?

Not yet. I am having a biopsy Wed. I feel much better after talking to the surgeon today. I think it's probably sarcoidosis (sp?). I am positive for Breast cancer and they are concerned that this may be BC or new cancer altogether.

Resection of bilateral lung metastases is exceptional (there are few clinical cases of carefully selected patients who underwent extensive resections for bilateral lung metastasis successfully)
If the nodules are confirmed as metastasis, systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be suggested.
Have you been checked for other organs affected by sarcoidosis?
When have you been diagnosed with breast cancer?
Did you already undergo breast cancer treatment?

No, I didn't even know you could have S in other organs, but the lungs and breast were the only sites detected, if that tells you anything, Yes, I had BrC and finished treatment in 2005. We already know that BrC has returned. I am having a procedure tomorrow to take biopsy of the lymph nodes in the lungs, which are also enlarged. If that proves to be nothing, they are going to hop over and take a section of the nodule in one of the lung. That should tell us what we need to know, right?

All pulmonary (lung) nodules require close monitoring.
In patients with a history of cancer or a tumor elsewhere in the body, there is at least a 50% chance that the nodule is malignant.
Nodules can be biopsied through bronchoscopy biopsy or through chest wall needle biopsy.
Did you get some answers already?

Thinking of you!

Thank you for your response. I had a mediastinoscopy (Sp) and they found it was recurrent breast cancer. I'm in treatment now.

I'm sorry to hear that you'll have to fight the same disease once more!

Are you going through a chemotherapy?
How do you feel?

Blessings for you!

Yes , I will have six months of chemo. Once a week for three weeks and then skip a week each month. It actually isn't that bad. I don't have much energy and get winded pretty easily, but other than that, no complaints. Oh, and for a couple of days afterwards, nothing tastes very good. I am part of a research study for the drug Avastin. It shows great promise.

Thanks for you response and concern! It is much appreciated!
