Hi Everyone I am Sydney based and i have just found out yesterday that i have stage 3 breast cancer ( its a hormonal one ) not sure the rest of the details yet ( or i cant remember at this point) ...
Hi @youngdogmum
So i have had a lumpectomy so far and they removed 3 lymph-nodes - this showed 2 out of the 3 were positive and that it is stage 3 of bc. Now they want me to do a genetics test, bone scan and ct scan - then he wants to do surgery again because they noticed a few spots on the outer tissue to remove that. Once i do the genetics test depending on if it comes back with that BC gene or not will determine if it s worth me removing the entire left breast or just more tissue. I am doing it through the public system. :)
thanks again
