The waiting is torture!
Hi ladies, So am back in hospital and my head is wrecked!! Due to the fact that my sentinel node biopsy came back positive I had to come back and get Level 2 nodes out. Am not coping with the waiting...
Hi, The waiting is totally the hardest part, but once you have the information it will really help your team to come up with the best treatment.
I had a double Mastectomy some months ago followed by radio, but in my case the Ki67 indicated that chemo would have minimal impact for me, my cancer was more hormone responsive.
I had only the sentinel node impacted - hoping it's the same for you, but radio was offered based on the 2014 European study showing an improved outcome for BC in cases with just 1 -3 nodes. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/822213
This tells me your team are offering you the best and most current treatment available. Take hope from that !
Good luck with everything
