@EmCee - all the best for your results - then you'll have a clear idea of your ongoing treatment. Fingers crossed it isn't Pagets. I am guessing they've biopsied that at the same time as your surgery? Take care xx
@Cashbrown - gosh - you have been thru the mill already! Definitely ask about your breast density - all women should be told when they have their mammogram - as both cancer and dense breast tissue shows as 'white' (as possibly your micro calcifications were too) - so is not readily identified & picked up. Especially in the case of invasive lobular cancer. Mine wasn't picked up and I'd been having mammograms for 14 years - and I'd had one just months before my GP found mine.
BCNA is actively campaigning for women to be advised of their breast density (as is currently done in Western Australia & just recently, in the whole of the USA.) All the best for your sentinel node biopsy xx
