Hi, I had a lumpectomy and auxiliary node clearance on the 24th Jan this year. Since then I had further re-incision surgery to take some more tissue, as a 3mm lump was found in the clear margin that is used to determine enough has been taken. This surgery was on the 7th March. My next appointment for the results is on the 6th April. If all is ok I should then see the oncologist to get the treatment plan (I was advised that I will have some chemo and radiotherapy).
Reading timescales im worried about the length of time between the first surgery and when my chemo will start. Some say 30days and others say typically a max of 12 weeks. Im anxious that this additional wait for results from the re-incision is putting me at risk of reoccurrence.
I was diagnosed initially of stage 1 breast cancer and from the 31 auxiliary nodes taken the cancer was in 4.. maybe this is why they aren't concerned as much with the wait for treatment.
Is this "normal" or should I be speaking with my breast care team about my worries?
Need some reassurance at the moment.. feeling in limbo all the time...
