newly diagnosed
New to this so not sure if i'm in the right place. Diagnosed in October, have had 2 surgeries. Lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy and 2 weeks ago axiliary dissection. Have seen the medical oncologist...

I had a single mastectomy (my choice) but it turned out for the best as there were dubious cells on the other side of my breast they discovered on lab testing. My sentinel node was involved and I ended up with axillary clearance but no further cancer found. My oncologist said it was a definite given for me to have chemo because my lump had been so aggressively growing. I did not require radiation as everything to radiate had been surgically removed already.
