Just had a lumpectomy yesterday. They removed my sentinel lymp nodes for checking for micro amounts of cancer. Have to wait a month for results. As per above question, what percentage of Her 2 positive gradev 3 cancer patients have microscopic amounts of cancer in sentinel lymp nodes?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I think we may have spoken on the phone earlier today about this.

    As I said, unfortunately, national breast cancer statistics do not currently capture this level, or type of data/information. Your breast cancer consultant will be able to explain more, when all results are back, and your cancer has been staged (assessed), and what this means for you.

    We do have website information on the staging and grading of breast cancer here,

    https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/breast-cancer/stages-grades

    and also general breast cancer statistics here,

    https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/breast-cancer/survival

    Do bear in mind that statistics are based on numbers of people, and often don't provide the full clinical picture for an individual person. Your consultant can explain the suggested treatments for you, and the likely risks and benefits of these. They can advise you about treatments, and how these may impact on reducing your overall chances of breast cancer recurrence in the future. 

    I hope that this helps, 

    Kind regards,
