Reason for the Scan
You have known right breast cancer after 6 chemo cycles. This scan checks your chest and right breast for lumps, spread, or fluid.
Procedure Details
CT (special x-ray) of your chest was done with thin slices, before and after contrast (dye). Pictures were rebuilt in different views.
Important Findings
- A large lump in the upper inner right breast measures 55.6 x 68.4 mm (about 2–2.7 inches). It sticks to the chest muscle (pectoralis).
- Swollen infection-fighting glands (lymph nodes) in the right armpit, up to 18.9 x 17 mm.
- Skin of the right breast is thickened to 18.2 mm.
- No lung lumps (nodules), holes in lung tissue, or small infection-like spots.
- Windpipe and breathing tubes look normal.
- Lung lining (pleura) looks normal with no fluid buildup.
- Middle chest area (mediastinum) shows no swollen glands.
- Heart, big blood vessels, ribs, and spine look normal. No bone damage.
Conclusion
You have a large right breast lump that reaches the chest muscle with swollen right armpit glands. No signs of spread to lungs, chest lining, or bones.
Note of Concern
See your cancer team quickly to plan next steps. You may need surgery, more chemo, or targeted treatment, and armpit node sampling. Go to the hospital now if you get new chest pain, trouble breathing, fast swelling, fever, or red, hot breast skin.
