Hello and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis of breast cancer, I can appreciate you have some concerns.

I am afraid that it is not possible for anyone here to tell you what your risk of having an advanced cancer is, this is because we are not involved in your care. However, I do think that because your breast care nurse is involved in your care and knows so much more about your situation that she is able to give you the best information about this.  Therefore I would trust in what she says - that it is highly unlikely that your cancer will have spread.   

Once you have had surgery much more will be known about your situation; your lymph nodes will be checked.  It is good that so far the ultrasound scan (which is a really useful scan) can only detect cancer in two lymph nodes.  

I hope the surgery goes well and please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline
