Hi Jacqui,
Thanks for sharing about your tumour. My dr visit went well today. The drain came out and it turns out I had a second small mucinous tumour 12mm also in the breast with other DCIS. The first mucinous tumour was 40mm, intermediate grade. Nodes taken out near the breast tissue were clear. So for me a mastectomy was definitely the way to go.
It's hormone receptor positive so chemo will put me into early menopause followed by tamoxifen.
My next stage is going to see medical oncologist (hopefully next week) and also a radiation oncologist. (maybe radiation to underarm region for those micro mets (still not sure)
I've been told, I don't fit a regular case, (a little bit unusual?)
I feel like I'm getting somewhere now though. Know what I've got to face.
Resting, recovering and some winter walks will be good.
Take care, Karen xx
