Hi, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in January this year, I've had 7 rounds of chemo and was told the 2 tumours I had which were 18mm and 7mm had shrunk down to 7mm and 5mm, which I was so pleased about. And I was told lymph nodes didn't look malignant.
I then had a Lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy 3 weeks ago, and got my results last week.
The surgeon said he took 1 lymph node which has cancer in it, and cancer was found outside the margins of the tissue he took out.
He also said the cancer he removed was 66mm, which I'm so confused about when scans said they were so small.
I had a ct scan yesterday, and I'm so worried about it all, that it's now spread somewhere else.
If ct scan is OK, I'll be having all nodes removed, and he wants me to decide what surgery I want he gave me so many options I don't know what's best. And I'll be having radiotherapy after surgery.
I'm so confused now, as after the lumpectomy I thought things would start to be better, and now I feel like I'm back at the start again!
