Results after surgery

Hello,

I had a lumpectomy and all lymph nodes removed from left side on 17 th December , had an appointment for 06/01 which was cancelled and next one 13/01 also cancelled and next one scheduled for 27/01 which will hopefully not be cancelled at the last minute!!.

All I want to know is have I got to have any more surgery if enough of a margin wasn't removed and am I having chemotherapy or radiotherapy and if so when is that likely to start?

Up until my surgery I was well looked after but now feel totally abandoned as if I call up always have to leave a message and no one gets back to me. Worried sick, can't sleep and definitely not good for mental health!!.

  • Had a similar experience, had surgery for Colorectal cancer, where I got a permanent stoma and my rectum closed, on 21 November 2024 and exactly like you say was all fine till surgery and then I did not get any aftercare ,no support from the team that is supposed to take care of me....been struggling a lot mentality...is hard enough to live with the diagnoses of cancer and surgery recovery where you feel is nothing left from you ....then the lack of care just adds up to all of this ....I totally understand your feeling ,even though I can not answer your question just wanted you to know you are not alone in this...
