recovering from surgery

Welcome to this site but sorry to hear you have to go down the bc path.It's really not straight forward surgery is it. There is  psychological and emotional feelings to deal with as well.It takes a long time to get confidence back in your health.I've had bc twice - 1st time in 2003,a lumpectomy,full node clearance,radiation. The 2nd time was 2010 when I had a recurrence in the same breast, so had mastectomy,chemo and am now on Tamoxifen.My pathology both times,was similar to yours.I also had clear lymph nodes- I think same as you if I'm reading correctly. You will definitely have radiation cos that goes hand in hand with a lumpectomy.But depending on your pathology,size of tumour etc you may or may not need chemotherapy.You will more than likely be put on an anti eostrogen drug such as Tamoxifen when the other treatments are over.Ofcourse this can all vary with different doctors. Have you ordered the"my journey kit"from bcna? It has so much information in it. Before you see the oncologist,write down all your questions and preferably take someone with you. Blog back here anytime for info and support or to vent your fears - it really helps.We know what you are going through- you are not alone.
