Hi all,
Thank you so much for sharing me these valuable knowledges.
The pathology not complete yet when I saw my surgeon last Wednesday 27 Oct 21. Surgeon mentioned my lymph nodes clear. but I am at borderline to have chemo and rad, heard this "chemo" make me scare. have to wait their meeting between surgeon, oncologist, rad.
Are the treatments can be more than one option ? and I can choose which the best for me?
The surgeon mentioned about Genomic essay testing, have you guys ever take this testing ?
and also gene testing related to research ?
@arpie you mentioned about a copy of record of the result, may I know what kind of result they would give to me? this result from the surgeon or from oncologist team? is this related to the cancer pathology and lymph node ? is this some kind of report with the details what have been done in my surgery? I am sorry to ask you many details.
@StrongCoffee, I have oncologist booked on 17th nov. I am not quite sure how long we have to wait from surgery to the treatment(chemo/rad). Hope the cancer does not grow so quickly.
@iserbrown, regarding the tablet, surgeon also mentioned that after chemo/rad I have to take tablet at least 5 years. If I not wrong the nurse mentioned it might be temoxifen (hope pronounce correctly) since I am 50 years not menopause yet and this tablet will stop oestrogen production. Have you take the same tablet ?
I am still feel pain under my armpit where the lymph nodes taken (surgeon said 2 lymph nodes taken)
do you guys take antibiotics for this surgery ? do you feel warm sometimes after the surgery ?
I have so many questions in my mind about whats gonna be my next step, hope I am strong to handle it since I have been avoiding many nice food (ice cream, chocolate, cake, fried chicken) due to this cancer. mostly eat fruit and vegetables, sometimes chicken(corn chicken) and make me lost my weight... which is not good. I am already small...
many thanks,
