I have been diagnosed with a large 4 cm x 2 cm mass and another 2 cm x 3 cm mass in my left breast. In addition, they have found one that is 6 cm x 5 cm on my colon? This seem very large to be cancer. Is there another disease that could cause such large rapid growing masses?

This might appear to be a trite answer, but it is not.
In the county where I live (Sonoma’s historical wine country) we are discovering an inordinate number of women (teens through senior’s) with breast cancer. We have a spendid women’s clinic and they are very active in this study,along with various grass-roots and health organizations. The thought is that over the years many pesticides have leached into the soil from growing grapes and other crops…this has adversely affected our produce, wine, water, etc., and ultimately our health in large numbers.
There are many medical technologies available today and I always believe in miracles. Our recovery can also be boosted by a positive attitude. Surround yourself with those people!
Please consider your environment. Best of luck! I feel great compassion and will keep you in my prayers.
Good question, sad issues, but I don’t think they are related. The breasts are one thing (or two) and the digestive tract is another – unrelated. If it were lymph nodes, then all of them are fair game for disease.
There are certain hereditary conditions which predispose individuals to tumor formation in multiple organs. I am familiar with Lynch Syndrome which causes intestinal tumors and ovarian tumors although I’m not sure about the breast and colon combo. It may be genetic. Ask your doctor, there may be genetic tests that can determine the cause.
Yes, cancer can cause large tumors . . extremely large.
What you may have is metastatic cancer which means that somewhere in your body either the breast tissue or the colon . . (probably the colon) has metastasized and spred throughout the body. Metastasis means that the primary tumor has ‘seeded’ into the blood stream or the lymphatic system and sent new malignant cells to a distant location in the body. A new colony of cancer cells starts in that location and can grow and spread and send out even more metastatic cells. So . . yes . . you can have tumors in the breast, colon, lungs, liver, brain, bones . . almost anywhere . . that is not to say that is what has happened to you . . but just that it is possible. No one here can really tell you what is happening to you specifically because you need to be examined by a doctor who will make a diagnosis. But yes, unfortunately, tumors can grow large.
Cancer is a progressive disease which means it starts out small and keeps growing indefinitely. There is no maximum size for tumors . . unless treated they can grow to enormous proportions . . .
My son had multiple abdominal tumors called desmoplastic sarcoma . . one was as large as a volley ball (21 cm) . . and he had hundreds of smaller ones on the large and small intestine, seeding in the peritoneal lining, pelvis, spleen, on the liver, diaphragm, and lymph nodes. And, that was the first month he was diagnosed . . his disease was aggressive, spred, and grew rapidly. We were able to maintain an 8 month remission before relapsing.
You could have sarcoma, you could have GIST (gastrointenstinal stromal tumor) or you could have metastatic cancer . . no one can tell you what this might be. . . hopefully you have had a biopsy to determine exactly what you are dealing with . . . they will try to locate the ‘primary’ source and a biopsy will help. It is also not impossible to have two different cancers . . or have one benign and the others malignant. There are many different scenarios . .and the most important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis no matter what it takes. A definitive diagnosis will give you information about how to go about treating what is happening to you .. you need a diagnosis as soon as possible.
Best to you.
