My Doctor said I had traumized my cells causing them to mastesize.  So my
question is :
Do traumized mastesized cells turn into cancer.  Especially if the cells are
clustered under skin of arms and usually have a raise tempature in the
clustered areas?

"Metastasis" is a word usually referred to cells which have spread
from malignant tumors (cancers) allthough it can also be applied to
the spread of infection.  The elevated temperature which you describe
is more characteristic of infection.

But, you need to ask your doctor whether you have a "primary" cancer.
Metastasizing cancer cells come from a primary cancer.

My doctor said I do not have cancer.  When asked how to treat the traumized
cells she said we don't.
This causes me worry.  She had orginially said it was probably VASCULRITHIS
and gave me a shot of something.  There was no change and a biopsy was done
on some cells. Wherein traumaized cells were caused by a month of excessive
over use of my arms pulling, pushing and over-exterion handling my husband
foe 4 wks while away for his medical theraphy.  This activity was 6-7 times a
day versus  4 times once a week.

Your doctor is either not being very clear with you or you are
mis-interpreting what he/she is saying.  Where are these "cells" that
are "traumatized"?

There is a condition called "hidradenitis" where the sweat glands
under the arms can become infected and painful, and sometimes surgery
has to be done to correct the problem.  I am not sure, however, that
this is what you ae experiencing.

Please talk to your doctor and get more information.  If you cannot
understand what he/she is saying, take a friend who is a nurse, or
some other type of health care person along with you.

Best,

Bob
