Recently diagnosed

Hi, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. It was suggested to me to have the lump removed by lumpectomy but after some discussion , I decided to have a mastectomy as the size of my lump relative to the size of my breast meant that the lumpectomy would leave me substantially deficient in that breast . I also did not want to chance any breast tissue remaining that May have any cancer cells left . I had 4 sentinel nodes and 4 axillary nodes removed also . I had 6 months of chemo which I finished about 6 weeks ago , and do not have to have radiotherapy owing to the fact that I had mastectomy and no nodes were involved . About 4 weeks ago I had the other healthy breast removed and a reconstruction with expanders I am going into have the first filling of my expanders tomorrow . Hope this helps xx
