I pray that your mother's results will be ok, and that she does well. The reason I am writing is because you reminded me of the time I was waiting on my Mother's biopsy, she has breast cancer. My advice for you is to expect the worse, although we are surely not aiming for it, this way whichever way the result goes you will not be affected. Also try not to have any expectations before you understand the full picture.\nI hope all goes well. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Yikes, there is misinformation here. I even clicked on the link in the first response, because I can't believe people are saying lymph nodes are in your breast. It's clear on the link page as well... The lymph nodes are under your arm. Your arm is near your breast so that's why the lymph nodes are often affected, and those underarm nodes could spread cancer if you don't get treatment. But no, there are no lymph nodes in your breast. They will test to see if the cancer has spread to the nodes in your underarm. There are also nodes near your cervical spine and the groin.\n\nMy sister is dealing with this right now. She had a 2cm tumor removed from her breast, and also 10 lymph nodes from under the arm. There was cancer in 2 nodes but 8 looked clear, so she'll have chemo and radiation to kill any cancer that might have been left behind after the surgery. It's scarey and the therapies are traumatic but chances are you will be cured.

Bad news:  this is not curable\nGood news:  if the cancer mets are restricted to her bones only, she may have many years left.  Zometa (zoledronic acid) is definitely a good option, as is Taxotere (very well tolerated chemotherapy).  She DEFINITELY needs to have  Her-2 neu test to see if she would benefit from Herceptin (they should be able to perform this test on the tissue they have from her previous surgery, or on new tissue if she has another biopsy).  \n\nAlso, if she is getting her period regularly, her doctor may advise ovarian ablation or lupron therapy, since she is PR +.  \n\nGood luck on the PET scan.

macro-lobulated mass, I pressume you mean.\n\nThis is bad, it is likely cancer.  Tissue is the issue, no answer until they have a tissue diagnosis.  If he smokes, then it is likely very bad news.\n\nBiopsy is everything, but odds are not great.  Anything other than cancer is going to have a pretty good prognosis, and thus not worth discussing until the biopsy is done.

Cervical cancer is caused by HPV, but so far as I am aware there still isn't a link between sexually transmitted infections and other cancers. \n\nWithout knowing how agressive your sister's cancer is, it's impossible to say how long she's had it - but it seems likely that she's had it since before she got married, if it is so advanced that they can't do anything surgically to treat it. \n\nMy sympathies.

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990.  She battled it, and won.  She had lymph nodes removed as well as a total masectomy.  Along with 6 months of chemo.  Unfortch her cancer recurred in 1998.  This time in her bones.  She battled bravely again, with weekly chemo for 5 solid years.  Eventually it spread to her brain and she had radiation.  She had(yes, I am sorry 'had')a great life from her initial battle in 1990 until cancer finally took her from us in 2003.  She saw both her daughters marry and met one grandson.  She and my dad traveled and were together.  Just give her the best you can.  Be there for her, talk to her.  I know it hurts, believe me, I know.  My mom was only 53 when she passed.  I believe she always handled it better than we did.  I never once saw her be scared.  I wish you and your friend all the best.  Good luck!
