Early breast cancer treatment
Hello all, Today my mum received her diagnosis of early breast cancer. We will be seeing the breast surgeon next week for next steps, does anyone know typical how long treatment would take?
Hi @tinango . It is really difficult to predict. Each cancer is different each person is different. Treatment plans differ from person to person. Initially I was told probably I would have a double masectomy...the surgeon only recommended a lumpectomy. Initially told chemo every three weeks . Had chemo fortnightly then weekly. Told probably six weeks radiation or no radiation. I had 5 weeks radiation.
Of course the specialists know what they are doing it is just when they do further tests and surgery things can change.
It was a huge shock to my daughter. Well a year later I am now cancer free and happy to be here...good luck
