What Is The Treatment For Stage 4 Breast Cancer?
Hi,
Thirteen months ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer cells in Pleural cavity, one lung only. Had no surgery on Breast, had 18 Chemo treatments of Taxol & Avastin. Currently 'stable' with last chemo in September of 2010. I also have MS and lesion on my Thyroid was on my MRI in 2008 and again this March of 2011. Could cancer have gone undetected and spread from Thyroid, to pleura and breasts. Pet scans show many bone mets. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Normal thyroid lesions can be there but first you have to undergo FNAC/biopsy for your thyroid lesion to see what is there.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
