Follow up with surgeon today
hi everyone some positive news. We saw the surgeon today to follow up after lumpectomy and he is positive he cleaned it all out and the pathology is all clear too!!! He took the lymph nodes too and only one showed any cancer. We see Arlene Chan Oncologist 3rd May to get chemo organised so onward and upward

- So great to hear
- Hi there I've finished my first batch of chemo and onto my second and yes Professor Chan is an angel and yes the most dedicated oncologist
- Hi I am in Perth too and will start chemo with Dr. Chan. She is the best in the business I have heard?
- That's great news Cath. My drain was down to 30mls today so fingers crossed it's heading in the right direction. Enjoy your Easter break xo
- Hey @LMW,Fantastic news. I ended up with my second drain in for 8 weeks. :( but having said that when it was removed (surgeon thought the drain itself was causing irritation and fluid) I did not get a seroma. :) - still have a little bit of fluid surrounding my implant but that is slowly being absorbed by my system. So all is good. Xx Cath
- Hi LMW, I feel I'm following a similar path. Still got my drain in after 3 weeks. Saw Arlene chan also and start chemo on the 3 rd of May! We might sit next to each other one day! My head is still spinning , I'm trying to turn it off! Good luck Paula x
- Awww that's fantastic to hear!!!! Congrats xoxo
- about 2.5wks it seemed like ages while going through it. but now I realise it was quick and one of the easier stages of my roller coaster ride.... I am now cancer free.
- Mines been in 10 days how long was yours in?
