Thanks for saying hello and thanks Katie for the info around your treatment. I find out on Monday if I need chemo.

Is comforting to read you got by okay.
At first was adamant not to get it but after crying to my BC nurse 😳 she assured me I’d be looked after and it’s only offered if need be.
Apparently I’m a grey area according to my surgeon and even though I have clear lymph nodes they may offer chemo due to my age ( 50) and the tumour type ( IDC grade 2 28mm)
Unfortunately I did not get clear margins on Jan 17 lumpectomy and I have to have more surgery on 22 nd Feb to get out remaining DCIS. Actual nasty tumour is gone though. Kinda annoyed she didn’t take more but she said my breasts are dense and fibrous.

I really hope she gets it all next time. Shame cos my wound is healing well except for sore bicep from lymph node removal.
I’ve had a big whinge on another thread bug thought I’d say hello anyway 👋
