            Tracy Lee,  You are not alone, I have had 3 doses of IPI and 4 days after my 1st does I had swollen node next to my right breast, since then I have aquired numerous bumps with bruising.  I have had 3 doses and since then I swear that one of my lumps is becoming softer, not as marble like…..I am praying so.  I truly understand your panic, this seems normal as far as I know, whatever is normal according to this disease, our lives have now changed, but I thank the Lord everyday that the IPI is available to us to try first, seems to have had the best, long lasting responce for those that do respond and I pray it works for all of us that are on it now.  Keep the faith baby, sometimes easier said then done.  We just need to continue to communicate on what reactions we are getting and what is going on, I honestly believe this treatment seems so new that the doctors are not ever sure what to expect, at least that is my impression………Ask the Lord to carry your burden and he will be there , works for me every time.  Take care and love and blessing.  Kitty
