I saw the bs today and she is doing a lumpectomy and sentinel lobe biopsy on the 16th August. Before this happens I need to see my gynaecologist to have the mirena removed. I also have to have a bone scan, CT chest, abdomen, brain and US abdomen. I also need to see my cardiologist and have an echocardiogram and stress test plus have multiple blood tests done. So although surgery is 7 weeks away I will be very busy! She has said I will be having radiation definitely but she's unsure at this stage about chemo until she gets results from all the tests including the biopsies of lymph nodes. She has also said a hysterectomy may be necessary if my body doesn't go into menopause. She is going to try and avoid mastectomy if she can as I have a compromised immune system and she's worried that the scar won't heal. Lots to think about and a full on few weeks/months ahead of me it seems. I feel much calmer after chatting to her today though.
