Well I went into surgery last Wednesday with apprehension.
Surgery did not go as planned. 2 more lumps were found in my breast on the morning of surgery by the Radiologist while they were putting in my wire for the first lump that was found. So all very uncertain going into theatre. I had a partial removal of the breast.
It is now a week later and I am feeling great, almost back to normal. Test Results received today at the hospital this morning. I have NO cancer in my lymph nodes BUT they did not get all the cancer from the first surgery so I have to go back in next week for the surgeon to remove it. I also do not know whether I am postive for hormones present or not - still waiting for that result. so on the whole I am pleased with the result - no chemotherapy this stage still going ahead with Radiotherapy and no Masectomy. My right boob looks good, not deformed just a bit smaller than my left one. My scars have healed nicely as my arm is no longer sore either and have full movement back in my arm. So we will wait for next weeks surgery now.
