Hi anjaya,  I had my lumpectomy and node removal on the 7th Nov.  Was told radio and hormone therapy also.  When I went for results from the surgery,  I was told 1 out of the 2 nodes was positive, so they sent it off for an oncotype test to see if I would need more surgery or chemo.  Luckily this test score came back low so I will still only have hormone treatment and 1 week of radiotherapy.

That's good to hear.

How is radiotherapy going?

I really hope mine is only radiotherapy and hormone tablets.  I really don't want chemo

Yeah I was so pleased that was not the road I was going down. I hope you get good news also.   I’m at hospital next wed for my first appointment for radio so I’m guessing I will start the treatment the following  week.  X 

Thank you. I'm stressed.

Good luck with that. You have to let me know how you get on.

May I ask what stage, grade were you when you had the initial biopsy etc?

I was stressed also, was even surprised only 1 week radio.  Yeah will let you know how it goes.

Grade 2 / stage 2 invasive ductal. Er pos her2 neg.

Mines the same as yours except it was stage 1

I’m sure everything will be ok for you and will just be radio & hormone therapy x 

Hope so x

All the best with it x

Thankyou.  You too x 

And so far for 4 out of 5 days radiotherapy everything is fine. I did have pain after the first session but this disappeared and I was very scared to start. It has been no problem at all.  Hope that helps.

Thank you for sharing your experience x

Did you feel like you could return back to work etc?
