Pink roses - no clear margins on lumpectomy

I have had a lumpectomy on the 26th January, 2 weeks post op consultation revealed that I don't have clear margins and that sentinel node biopsy revealed that it's also in my lymph nodes . My. Consultant wants to do another op , followed by 6 months chemo. I'm all over the place in diffèrent thoughts and need to make a decision but I'm still sore under arm and breast from the lumpectomy plus node removals. 
 

anyone on here had the same . 
 

kind regards... Maryoma pink roses.

    welcome is yours her2 negative ? 
     

    I had a lunpectomy sentil node , had one positive node so then had another operation and all other nodes were fully clear so try not to worry this don't mean on the 2 nd operstion that they will all be positive I did not have chemo I had the Oncotype test which come back so low chemo was not required it would have done more harm than good 

    how many positive sentil nodes ?

  • Pink roses I love the name 

    try to stay very positive I was in total shock that day too did they say they were doing a full lymph node removal auxiliary node clearance ? That's the 2 nd operstion I had done ? 
    I had clear margins but still had the 2 nd operation tey not to worry as although sentil node positive my actual lymph nodes were clear so this could well happen for you my lovely love Lara ️

  • morning Laura....

    well I guess its coz im a senior lady that I ddnt take much of the info in at the time I was having my 3rd seroma syringed and she just dropped this bombshell on me..... so I had an app with breast nurse yday . but there were more Q from me and not enough positive answers from B nurse. so I've now got an appointment with consultant next week.  despite already being sent letter of appointment for post op check 27th Feb. 

    its all too fast ...im only just recovering 3weeks post op 26th January. 

    tell u more news after app with consultant. 

    warm wishes...maryoma.....pink roses.

    well that's not so professional giving you that info as in half a story whilst getting your Seroma drained 

    it would have been good if your consultant had given you the full story as bits of info not explained makes us panick 

    I hope you get all the information and it all explains on your next appointment in the meantime hope you have a speedy recovery 

    love Lara ️
