Hi Girls, have just been reading all your stories. I have just been diagnosed grade 3 with very narrow surgical margins. Of course like every other girl with a breast cancer diagnosis I am terrifed. To top it all off only 3 nodes were taken & were negative. Because of the high grade & now I am almost 4 weeks post surgery I am frightened that the nodes left may have cancer in them. Feeling this way because I have started to develop lymphoedema, which I didn't think would happen if I only had 3 nodes taken. I thought my arm would still drain successfully. Have been doing my best to keep the fluid moving in my arm, but feeling really scared. Have been told I'm looking at a total of 6 months chemo, to be followed by radiation therapy. Just wondering what your treatment regimes were. Would appreciate any advice you can offer.
