Hi @Beb46,
You have a good sense of humour which is great. Glad things are progressing for you and have your surgeon appointment. This is great as the treatment plan will progress now.
I had an invasive cancer as well. I was lucky no lymph. They tested my lymph mid surgery. I had a wide local incision, chemo x 13 rounds and 19 rounds of radium. My cells were aggressive grade 3 but my cancer was stage one.
It was great to have my surgery as I felt then my cancer was gone. It also felt like progress and each part of my treatment was another step to being cancer free. My surgery was in may, chemo June to September and radium in October. I am now taking tamoxifen for 5 years. So far so good.
I hope things move along quickly for you and any treatment you have goes well. Good luck with the appointment on Friday.
Big hug to you. 💐
