IDC ?link to Ovarian Ca
by 2babykitties, Oct 24, 2007 10:07PM
I am 42 dx 2/1/07 w/Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - R Breast. I had 4 a/c and then 4 taxol treatments over 4 months. Surgery in July w/mass removal -clear margins, axillary dissection w/1 positive node. Also was told that in addition to IDC there were DCIS cells found also. Currently in my last of 7 weeks of radiation therapy.
Because of findings on my PET scan after chemo I had a complete pelvic ultrasound and the findings were "fibroids seen, small cyst on R ovary and large cyst on L ovary". My recent pap test showed ASCUS-I do understand what this means. My gyne suggests f/u ultrasound in 2 months.
I am worried about these findings and am curious where I can find information regarding the connection or link between Breast Cancer and Ovarian (or Uterine) Cancer. Is it possible, considering my cancer is invasive and cells were found in a lymph node, I finished chemo at the end of June, and my recent ultrasound findings, that there could be any cancer connection? I trust all my oncologists and my gyne but I am terribly concerned.
I truly appreciate your time.
