just finished 5 weeks of radiation therapy, i didnt do chemo , they said because there were clear margins, no nodes effected and it was a stage 1 early that i didnt need it ??? did anyone out there get radiation without chemo??
Hello BC loveley members First of all, I am in brisbane and had ultrasound,showing fibroadenoma 3cm size.Result was bit dodgy though, because my lump showed vascularity. Then I supposed to have a core biopsy as a precaution. I am public so I had to wait 2weeks to have biospy done. Problem is when I had biospy they did FNA…
Evening all... so I have been through all the shitty tests/scans and waiting. I have had my right mastectomy with apparently clear margins. 6/14 nodes involved.

I have been given two options for surgery mastectomy and lumpectomy with radiation. I know I will always worry…
So hard to make decisions when you feel like you only have half the information....... far out. Final report is in, I haven't seen it bc nurse has but I didn't try to read it over the table. She contradicts what the surgeon said last Friday. I tend to think she was more accurate....I must admit I saw him as an outpatient…
Hi there, I'm new to this network so not sure if this is the right way to go about it. I'm 33 and got diagnosed with DCIS in late November, had a mastectomy and reconstruction in December and have started having conversations re: my treatment plan as my results are now that its stage 1. I have met with my radiation…
