Hi @Potter_21 great to hear you have had the surgery. Time to rest and recover and be very gentle on yourself. Take care. M x

Hi lovely ladies! I was diagnosed last week with ductal carcinoma of the left breast. What a whirlwind of emotions! Unsure if it has spread beyond the breast. Having lumpectomy surgery tomorrow & sentinel node biopsy. Very nervous & hoping it is contained! 

I had same on Wednesday! Getting results on Monday. How are you feeling so far? Managing the pain? Sleeping?

Halla, I  am doing OK and pain is fine. Arm is a bit achy. I  get my results on Tuesday. Fingers crossed for us both. Hope you are feeling OK. 👍

@Potter_21 glad your doing well. Sending good vibes for Tuesday.
@Halla I hope you are recovering well too.

Fingers crossed! I must say the pain from the surgery has been less than I had feared, I’m taking 2 Panadol every 6 hours to make sure. my pathology report was uploaded today but I need the surgeon to interpret it for me tomorrow . It seems to say my sentinel node was clear 👏🏻.  I *think* it says there were 4 lumps and they got clear margins on all of them. I only knew of 3. They talk of 0.5mm margins in a couple of spots though, which does not sound like much. They also mention an LCIS which I don’t think was known about beforehand.  So I’m not sure what all this will mean for future treatment. 

Halla, that all sounds positive! Sending good thoughts your way.
