Hi everyone ️
New to all this after being diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of October 2023 after a routine mammogram at the age of 62.
Everything went reasonably quickly after being told I had 2 grade 2 invasive ductal carcinomas. On the 6th December I had a lumpectomy to remove them, along with a senitel node biopsy which was negative.
When I went back for the results on the 8th Jan I was told that when they went into my breast they found another significant tumour and that my breast was unstable.
It was decided that I would now have to have a full mastectomy with an expander implant, which I have just had done this Monday .
My question is as the lymph node was all clear does this mean I will not need to have any chemo? just maybe radiotherapy or is that the mastectomy would have just taken the cancer away.
If any of you that have been through the same with the same histology be kind enough to share their experiences of their next steps if any?
Many Thanks
