Todays the day
Today l have my lumpectomy and node removal surgery. So many mixed emotions... relief/fear/unsure/emotional.
@Romla yes l have the pillow neatly tucked under my arm and my breast care nurse organised my berlei bra ready for surgery.
I opted for lumpectomy and node removal and was only meant be a day unless other concerns.
I have an invasive ductal carcinoma, er+ cancer (still trying to learn medical terms)
You mentioned microtasis on 2 nodes - does this mean cancer cells or growths or both ? I'm interested as mentioned earlier 1 of my 4 nodes had a "growth" which will be tested at pathology...growth and cancer are a scary word combination at the moment.
