Stage 2/ grade 2 - is chemo required?
Hi all. I'm new here and just had my lumpectomy on 16/1/23. Reports mentioned 40mm tumour on right breast. Re-excision is required to obtain a clear margin and one lymph node is involved (has cancer)...
Agree with @Julesuptree, general
practitioners including nurses can be remarkably poor at hitting a vein, but oncology nurses are usually very good and much more understanding. I had six months of chemo, half of that weekly and could only use one arm as I have lymphoedema. Nurses were great, my senior nurse was particularly adept! But a port is also an option. Best wishes.
