Hi Zoffiel,
He explained the pros and cons and feels that given the size of the tumour on imaging and examination he would be shocked if there wasn’t multiple nodes involved. Due to the potential false-positive rates with sentinel, he said he feels probably better for my long term outlook to safely take them all now. He described it as an “old school approach” 😂 he is a professor after all haha!
Im in Brisbane and having surgery at a tertiary hospital so I don’t think its to do with lack of equipment etc..
Quite isolated family wise which I know is going to be really hard. That was probably the first thing I got upset about, I thought how am I going to get through this just the two of us.
my mum passed away 10 years ago (lung ca, nil family history of breast/ovarian at all)
dad and I have a strange relationship. My sister is intellectually disabled and honestly won’t be much help at all.
my brother is in Darwin and his wife is about to give birth to their first, as much as I’d love him here I need to let him enjoy this time as well.
Hubbys family are all in Scotland, I’m hopeful they will visit.
But I have some good friends around, as well as their Mums who were there with me through my Mums treatment and passing. Plus my dog I think she’s going to keep me smiling through this!!!
Thank you everyone again for your comments and what not.
It is so nice to hear of so many women now on the other side of treatment.
