Hi everyone.I am in a freak out here.I have always had serious panic disorder, serious, serious. I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer,the dr says it is small and very treatable.But it has never been my fear.My fear is HIV and that they will find it by accident when treating me and testing for breast cancer....
I have already had one operation, with biopsy and blood from the site taken.My question is..they have to take a lymph node to look for the cancer.I am SO worried they will find HIV in the lymph node, just because it is there.
This has always been my fear, I am convinced I have had symptoms for years and avoided doctors.
I just want to know if they discovered it by accident OR if they would have to actually test for it? They are testing for cancer cells right now.
