Awaiting Test Results after Lumpectomy/ Treatment Plan

Hi,

I had a lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed on the 12th December and I'm due to go back to the hospital on the 17th January to get my results back.

Before my operation I was told that I'm more than likely going to be having radiotherapy followed by hormone tablets.

Has anyone been through any experiences where this has been/ mot been the case once the results came back.

I.e did the treatment change

Thanking you all in advance

    Hi I had a lumpectomy and 4 nodes removed on 6th Nov. I was told I would possibly need two weeks of radiotherapy and Tamoxifen.  On the morning of my operation I was also told chemo could not be ruled out.  I have had 4 out of a total of 5 days radiotherapy and will not need to take tamoxifen.  The cancer had not spread.  My outcome was better than I thought.  I wish you all the best at this worrying time.
