3 weeks post op lumpectomy with sential lymph nodes removed , wow what a rollercoaster ive been on the last 2 months , started with having a rash and pain in my breast waited for a few months as doctors never seem to have appointments, but finally went and got referred all the usual test done told it was nothing to worry about as no lump felt and heck biopsy results came back and diagnosed grade 2 invasive ducal carcinoma , lots more tests done and things inserted into breast . Today went for my follow up appointment the cancer has not spread to lymph nodes and good clear margins , only problem now is my boob is huge so ended up having it drained , same again next week ,. Now just waiting to see oncologist and then due for radiotherapy and to start letrozole , not looking forward to side effect from them .
sometimes feel very lonely but on the whole try my best to stay positive for my family , but it’s hard as I lost my mum 5 years ago to breast cancer and also 2 of my work colleagues the past 2 years so scared I am .
