Update as of 26th jan . I ended up going with recommendations as per surgeon. Lumpectomy ,SLN and 6 lymph nodes removed . Best possible outcome ( thank god) in that no cancer in lymph nodes and clear margins around tumour which had shrunk considerably post chemo. I’m very happy with surgical result as very little left breast defect ( apart from the blue dye blobs which may fade over time) . Should be able to,wear normal non underwire bras in a few months. Am to see radiation specialist next week for planning appointment . I appear to,have some cording in armpit but will be seeing lymphodema clinic soon for treatment. Fingers crossed that this treatment pathway kicks the ca to the kerb . Still to,have hormone regime appointment and herceptin will continue until later in 2021
