Just home from hospital after L breast resection
Hi I am also a newbie -another 1 in 8 statistic in Australia. A breast abnormality was detected during my routine mammogram. The scanner said good luck! to me as I left which I thought was odd. Sure enough 3 weeks later I was recalled for repeat scans and biopsy. Two days later I was told my biopsy showed Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage 1 Grade 2. I was in total shock for a few hours and luckily took a girlfriend with me. Twenty days later I had a trying day during which I had the carbon tracking procedure, then sentinal node mapping and then surgery to remove lump and sample node. I am now awating the pathology results to confirm the next steps -hopefully radiotherapy only.
