My mother in law had a left breast mastectomy 8weeks ago and also had 3 lymph nodes removed for testing. The breast cancer she had was malignant but not metastasised,so not spreading. After 8weeks she still hasn't had any results back from the lymph nodes that were taken for sampling and as a result she is starting to feel anxious as the clinic still hasn't had the results back yet. I myself feel that this is probably a good thing as I'm pretty certain she would of heard something if she had needed further treatment but she is 82yrs old and is worried. Is this time frame normal? Is it a good or bad sign? Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
