Surgery options & decisions
I have just been recently diagnosed with early breast cancer, stage 1, grade 1. I had my first appointment, the team were great with explaining everything though I must say it’s been very overwhelming...
I was stage 2. I chose a single mastectomy because I wanted to make 100% sure they got it ALL. As it turned out, it had escaped into one of my lymph nodes so I also had all my underarm lymph nodes out but those were clear of cancer.
Since the lymph node was involved I was given chemotherapy however they said radiotherapy in my case wasn't required so I didn't have it.
My cancer was hormone positive so I am now on hormone therapy pills.
