So today i had my appointment with the surgeon
and he said that they did find a small amount of positive cells in the surrounding tissue and that he may have to go back in and take some more tissu...
Hi Shaz,
You poor darl! This journey has so many corners that you can't see around. It happens sometimes that they don't get a clear margin and then you have to have some more taken. I took a punt and had ALL my lymph nodes removed only to find out that they were ALL clear.That was 7yrs ago and I haven't had any arm probs.I don't regret it cos I got cancer back again in the same breast last year despite having had radiaition.(unlucky 8%).I'm guessing there were no lymph nodes to travel to this time.It was also quicker to recover from just a mastectomy. It would be great to have a crystal ball when faced with these awful choices. I hope the next few weeks are easier on you.
