Hi @noosa_blue150
I was diagnosed with early stage 2 breast cancer in April 2020 size was 52mm. I had a lumpectomy with 4 nodes removed. All 4 nodes were cancerous and then I was advised I needed to have a mastectomy. Had this and then had another 9 nodes removed. In total 9 out of 13 nodes were cancerous. I had 4 rounds of AC chemo and I am currently have weekly paclitaxel chemo. After this I will be having radiation but I don't know all these details yet, I am meeting the radiation team next week. Hope all goes well for your remaining treatment.
