I've got all my results, had to have a re-excision of the original lumpectomy because of involved margins. The second excision had a close margin with DCIS and the breast MDT decided not to re-operate but just to monitor closely. That made me as nervous as hell as I wanted another excision to be sure it was all gone as I'll be damned if I'm going up do all this again in 12 months! So I spent the weekend fretting about it and then this morning my oncologist (bless her) says yeah! We'll just get you in for a re-excision when chemo is finished! Easy. Done. Sorted!!
I would happily let them take whatever is required, my surgeon however is a little on the conservative side!
All my results are in and I have (had) an aggressive, fast growing tumour which my onc thinks has only been there for about 6 months. This is scary but at the same time comforting because the more aggresive a cancer the better it responds to chemo and I figure the less time it's been there the less time it's had to spread. I'm also ER/PR and HER2 +ve so I have more treatment options open to me too.
Hope you're doing ok chick.
