Lymphovascular invasion question?
My story I'm 47 married with a 19 year old son .. I found a lump under my left arm and kept an eye on for a week or so and when it didn't go away so I thought I better get it checked out.. that was 10/3 .. doctor was not really worried but sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound.. went on the 17/3 .. Had the mammogram and the ultrasound and I didn't think anything about it but tech said the I really needed make a urgent appointment with my doctor.. One hour later the doctor called and said they had found something and the need to do biopsy and she had made it for the following Monday.. fast forward..and it came back at CANCER - ducal invasive carcinoma
Appointment with the surgeon next day booked in for surgery the following Wednesday for lumpectomy.. surgeon seem think it was only going to small maybe 2cm so just surgery and sental node biopsy and radiotherapy.. Surgery went fine and we when we got results the we were in huge shock..the tumour was huge.. 5.5 cm and the margins were not clear.. so booked in the following week for further surgery and clear the margins
Appointment made to see the oncologist today so 6 rounds of chemo and 6 weeks radiotherapy once chemo is done.. so my cancer is 5.5cm ER + PR + HER2 - sental node + grade 2 and the oncologist said that the lymphovascular invasion was very intensive that's was little worrisome.. so has any other ladies had a similar prognosis?
