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'm similar timescale/position as you. Was told two lumps, likely lumpectomy, radiotherapy, tamoxifen, then MRI showed 4 lumps, so likely DIEP procedure or mastectomy. They can't rule out chemo until my lumps have been tested. Feels like the goalposts keep changing. Waiting for my DIEP consultation, but everything delayed because of holidays and pending Dr strikes 

    Hope you are ok

  • Hi Annielouise..great to hear from you and I'm so sorry you are going thru this..it's so rubbish isn't it!! Do keep me posted on how things are going,I will keep everything crossed for you!! 

    I was on a high after my op, but then crashed, was so tired, emotional too..I have just had to give in to what my body needs, which is rest, sleep and time to heal..not been easy as I'm on my own with my son, who has been such a great support! Us women are always on the go, so it's hard to give in to this..

    Keep strong, you'll beat this..keep in touch, big hugs xx
