My aunts lymph nodes came back clear but they found lesions on her liver she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.They are doing a liver biopsy.We have no idea right now if they r cancer or nothing Iam praying they are nothing.But how can cancer spead without lymph node involvment? Whats the possibilty this is just nothing?
They did blood work came back as non-vascular
I’m curious what you mean by "they did blood work came back as non-vascular." The truth is that all tumors have some vasculature or they wouldn’t be able to survive. Tumors feed on the same oxygen and nutrients that the rest of your body feeds on, and more.
As a result, the cancerous cells can enter the blood stream and travel through the body, coming to rest in other locations. The liver is a prime target for these rogue cells because it works like a filter for the blood.
The lymphatic system definitely plays a part, but positive nodes do not always precede distant metastases.
If it gets into the blood stream it becomes vascular meaning it can go to any organ that gets blood (all of them pretty much)
I’m no doctor, but my dad recently had cancer that was in one spot - bone & tissue in jaw with no lymph note involvement and not in the blood, either. Is it in her blood? The liver is a cleanser of the blood, so that might make sense.
i had lesions on my stomach so i know what you’re going through. cancer is a disease that eats away at the human body if it is not treatable. i had biopsys done ,ct- scans and mri s one day for a test the doctor found the lesions had gone away and were probably caused by an infection i had from taking other meds. but anyway now they found cysts on my kidney which means a whole other series of tests which i hope will find out what i got or do not got. the possibilities this is nothing are very real good luck
well it turns out good
i had breast cancer, that did not involve my lymph nodes, mine has spread to my liver and my uterus, even though there is no direct route it`s like going to your upstairs bedroom without using the stairs, impossible,? but it happened to me
