Re: New to This
went back to specialist today and she did remove all cancer from breast there was even some DCIS there but she removed this as well. Need to see an oncologist next week to see if its worth doing chemo, will def have radiotherapy but my specialist seems to think that the outcome is good with radiotherapy even under the arm and chemo would only add another 1% to survival rate. but we will see what the oncologist says. has anyone had the same outcome?. Oh and now after surgery it turns out I have IDC not ILC like the biopsy showed and it is still stage 2. Its hard to keep thinking positive and I love my specialist but hate going to the building. xx2Views0likes0CommentsRe: New to This
thank you, had the lymph scan today to mark where the sentinel lode is and that was ok. I stressed about every step as its always the first that is hard. im not looking forward to surgery, I know it has to be done but it doesn't make me stress any less. thank you for the support13Views0likes0CommentsRe: New to This
Today I saw my specialist and I am in for a Lymph scan tomorrow and then surgery on Wednesday with a hookwire put in just before surgery. I'm very scared and anxious about it all. I will be in overnight with a partial mastectomy. The specialist said that the lymph scan will determine which lymph nodes to remove for testing, even though originally, they thought it was not in the lymph nodes, not sure if that is changed or they are being super careful. I spoke to the cancer care nurse that rang me and she was amazing, but I have not had any surgery before apart from a knee arthroscopy which was very quick. I will know the week after what happens after surgery, depending on I guess what the test comes back as and whether it is in my lymph nodes. It's just so much to even get my head around but I have lots of support, most of the problems are in my own head and I make them worse by my thoughts. thanks for listening3Views0likes0CommentsRe: New to This
So true it messes with your mind, thank you for taking the time to reply. All the best with your phase as well. So ridiculous throughout my life I always was healthy and started to think I was invincible, never even had the flu. First morning after I got told the news it was like I was hearing it again and I thought it was a nightmare, soon realized, no this is my life now. So obviously still coming to terms with it. Hugs right back at you x4Views0likes0Comments- 4Views0likes0Comments
