Hello lovely ladies, just a bit more info on my breast cancer journey. I visited my surgeon yesterday for the results of my lumpectomy operation. Some good news and not so good I guess. It is an invasive carcinoma size 20mm, grade 3, no special type. It is HER2 - ER - PR Stage group 1B. I am waiting now for a visit with the Oncologist to discuss my treatment. Dr said I will need chemo first then radiation therapy. My tumour was close to my chest wall but not attached so had a wide local excision, it was very high up on my left breast. Margins were all clear and it hasn't travelled to my lymph nodes which is a plus. I had myself psyched up for radiation therapy but not chemo. It was in the back of my mind maybe I will need it but was hoping not. Hope this is making sense, I am a bit stressed at present. I have spoken to my breast care nurse and wish I could bring her home with me. I also have been to The Cancer Council for information about accommodation, wigs, scarfs etc. Everyone has been so supportive just amazing really. I also received my journey kit from BCNA in the mail today, very impressed with all the information. Cheers xx
