Pathology result

I had a little party inside myself when I saw the Dr.last Friday (25/11/13)........mastectomy has gotten rid of the cancer...no evidence of cancer cells in the sentinel node or lymph node they took!

I had invasive carcinoma approx 4cm....within  calcification area containing 5cm DCIS...grade 2 - ER/PR positive.

Great result but now wait for the Oncologist to give me the news about what treatment is recommended. So far 6 chemo sessions 3 weeks apart and then tamoxifen for 5 years after has been suggested. 

I had to have seratoma drained under my arm last Friday too...it was approx the size of an orange so very uncomfortable but relief when it had been drained. I think it has settled now!

I am amazed at reading others' posts how many different types/grades of cancer and treatments there are! Never knew anything about this until I became an unwilling member of this club!

Only way is forward now....!
