Hi @Janine60 and welcome to the forum. Goodness you have a lot on your plate but hopefully everyone will be able to chip in to assist you and help get you thought this. I was diagnosed May 2016 with early stage BC think it was dcis, but it wasn't clearly identified. I had a 2.7cm malignant tumour and a satellite lesion in the left breast (lesion was benign). I decided to have a mastectomy simply because the benign lesion was abnormal cells that I didn't want lurking in my breast waiting for them to attack!! I was told that my tumour was aggressive and that I would definitely need chemotherapy and depending on whether there was any lymph node involvement would dictate radiotherapy. Because of where the tumour was my surgeon suggested a skin and nipple sparing mastectomy and I wanted immediate reconstruction with an implant which she agreed to. Had that done June 2016. Tumour turned out to be grade 1 stage 2. Lesion benign. No lymph node involvement. Because I had chosen mastectomy and no lymph nodes were involved no radiation. Because it was grade 1 with no lymph nodes no chemotherapy. I too am Er/PR+ Her2- so have been on Tamoxifen which has pushed me into menopause (was 50 when diagnosed so would have been facing menopause anyway!). Next July I will be swapped to an aromatase inhibitor as I am now in menopause these tablets will be more effective in stopping a recurrence. Am doing beautifully, thoroughly enjoying and appreciating life to the max. Have you joined the reconstruction group yet?
