Great, good and I'm not sure
Hi, I'm 37 and have unfortunately joined the BC journey.
1 month after having a breast check by my GP (nothing suspicious felt) I discovered a lump on my right breast. Fast forward to 10th August I underwent a mastectomy of my right breast and auxiliary clearance. Pathology results have come back. 5cm grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma (I knew this already from ultrasound, mammogram and core biopsy), and high grade ductal carcinoma in situ (not detected on ultrasound and mammogram) taking total tumor mass to 8.5cm. All 11 lymph nodes were clear. Tested negative to hormone receptors and negative to Her 2. I'm having a CT scan and bone scan 1st Sept before meeting with my oncologist. Are there any other scans that I should ask for before my chemo treatment begins?
