Breast secondaries in posterior triangle

Hi

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and with secondaries to the neck lymph nodes in June 2017. I've since had docetaxel which put me into remission but after just 2 months it's now back in my neck. I start radiotherapy this week.  The tumours have also changed from er+ to triple neg. Has anyone else here been diagnosed with neck node secondaries? 

  • Hello Sallyjo and welcome to our forum.

    I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2015 and that now it's back on your neck.

    Hopefully, some of our members who can relate your situation will pop by soon to share their stories with you and offer support. In the meantime feel free to reach out to others here and start chatting, everyone at Cancer Chat is very friendly and I'm sure they'll be happy to talk with you.

    Best wishes,

  • Hello sallyjo; I haven't got any personal experience to your medical issues but while you are waiting for someone to come and chat, I thoughg I would look  up some previous posts .  In the blue banner above your post you should click on the words Search forum.  In the box that opens up I typed the words Breast cancer neck node secondaries and quite a few things came up.  I don't know how many of these would be interesting/helpful to you but just thought I would tell you this in case you wanted to have a look.  Best wishes.  Annie

  • Well radiotherapy has been delayed. The onco wants to do more investigations and have a radiographer take another look at the scans. He mentioned targeted radiotherapy whatever that means. I know it's palliative I just wait they would get on with it. There' so much waiting around with this nasty.
