First mamogram ever
After losing my husband 19 months ago to stomach cancer (55) after only a 10
month diagnosis , I was defiantly going to go and have my 50 year old mammogram . Low and behold , I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer , no lump , nothing . Couldn’t believe it . I just couldn’t believe I was going to have to put my kids through this all
Over again. It was really hard telling them. Fast forward and I decided on radical treatment . Double mastectomy, during which I had sentinel node biopsy and ended up with axillary clearence / one node positive is it of 10. Now I’m considering the treatment plan. My daughter is getting married in 5 weeks so it’s all happening at once . I’m having some genomic test done to see if chemo will benefit me or if hormone therapy alone is going to be enough. Having to wait 2 weeks for this result is hard . Has anyone else has the testing done?
