Hi Whippetlove,

Ive just joined today so I'm a fellow newby. I was diagnosed in April with grade 3 and had my lumpectomy and node removal last week. Still waiting the results although they have already told me from the scan that 2 of my lymph nodes are 'highly suspicious' which I think is hospital speak for they think the cancer has spread that far at least.

I have been recovering well after the op but then had a sudden down turn Sunday evening which developed into a very swollen boob by Monday, which then became hard and lumpy and hot (not in a good way). I ended up back in hospital yesterday where they admitted I had gotten an infection which happened during the surgery as my wound is as clean as a whisle but the tissue in my boob is on fire.

I am now rattling around with copious amounts of antibiotic tablets in me while i await my results. Cant say Im enjoying this "journey" I'm on.

Have they told you how many lymph nodes they are removing ?  x
