Hi Tanya, thanks for your welcoming message and the compliment re my profile pic! Yeah my surgery is a lumpectomy with a sentinel node removal. (Not sure what an ancillary clearance is - can you fill me in?) It sounds like you've had two experiences if you've had recovery from an ancillary thingy as well as a mastectomy. Did it come back? After how long? My breast tissue is very dense and so I have had regular ultrascans yearly for the last few years. The lump showed up on one of those. It is very small by the initial pathology report - 5mm, but is invasive. When were you first diagnosed?
