Radioligy -what are invasive cells seen in diagnostic mamogram Posted: 11-15-07 12:23pm
my aunt went to her ob yesterday for two
very large hard lumps in her right breast
that are beginning to cause her pain one
takes up just about the whole top of her
breast and one on the bottom they sent her
straight for a diagnostic mamogram and
they did some ultrasounds as well the
radioligist came in and told her he is
very sorry he could not give her good news
and that it did not look good and that he
saw what looked like some invasive cells
and that she would have to go back to her
ob today and he wants her to be reffered
to a surgeon immediately he did not give
out much info and we are terrified does
invasive cells mean she has invasive
breast cancer does she have breast cancer
at all? sorry this is so long but we are
very concerned and dont know what to
expect at the ob today thanks so much for
your replies

Invasive cells means cancer cells that
have potential to invade the surrounding
tissue (to spread).
I guess your aunt has breast cancer due to
examination results.
When did the hard lumps appear?
Does she has discoloration of her breast?
Was she checked for swollen lymph nodes?
