Hi everyone,, well i had my surgery done on 31/5 on Wednesday and discharged Monday 5/6.
Went to see the dr for a follow up yesterday, the good news is that the lymp nodes of 13 removed and 8 was affected.
The bad news he tells me is that there was some scar tissue in the breast, path test was done ,turns out there is more canc..in the breast, seeing the oncologists and dr this Friday to see whats to be done, but most likely having mastectomy now per dr.......crap that was not what I expected. A body scan was done to check if it had spread....all good
I will be "lop sided", i am being advised to have the other removed to save myself any headache later on(by friends) Has anyone gone this road? ???
