Hi Lara,
I am 49 and was diagnosed in march this year, had a partial Masecomy and was told that my lymph glands were clear by an ultra sound and would only have to have radiation.
After the OP that went well, a week later had to path results, the lump was alot larger that they thought but it had started to go into my lymph nodes. This meant that i now would have to have Chemo, Radiation and 5 years of tablets - my husband and i were devestated, but when the Doc explains to you in percentages of the benefits of having all the treatment or only radiation the window of recovery was huge and a no brainer to our decision.
I am half way through my chemo, then 6 weeks of everyday radiation and then 5 years of tablets, but the outcome is good for me.
Please i know it is hard not to dwell and think the worst - the WAITING is the worst, but wait for the results and deal with it then.
Hope to keep reading on your progress honey, all the best with the OP.
