tumor size

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER IN AUGUST. MY MAMOGRAM (mammogram) REVEALED AN AGGRESSIVE 3.5CM TUMOR. MY BONE SCAN WAS NEGATIVE, AS WERE MY LYMPHNODES. I HAD A MASECTOMY TO REMOVE MY LEFT BREAST, AND THEY ALSO REMOVED 12 LYMPHNODES. I AM CURRENTLY UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY (4 CYCLES) AND I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS HAD AS LARGE OF TUMOR AS MINE AND WHAT THEIR TREATMENTS WERE AND THEIR OUTCOMES.

I just had a mammagram done yesterday and I was told that I have a 4 and a half cm lump on my left breast.The nurse came back after the test and said "It does'nt look good" , and wanted to take more test.I also had a ultra sound done and another mammogram , which was very painful.I am 40 years old and did have a tumor removed from my right breast when I was young (around 16).I did see a doctor 19 months ago when the lump was 0.8cm , and the doctor told me its nothing to worry about.What do I do now . I know when the doctor recieves the mammagram she is going to give me bad knews and I don't know if I can handel it.Anyone else ever been in my shape.I am so mad at the doctor who checked me 19 months ago , and would not give me a mammagram or anything.. Sorry my mind is racing at a 1000 miles a hour...Sharie
