Hi I had lumpectomy for Dcis intermediate in January. However in the 7.5cm of tissue removed they found invasive cancer cells but the edges were clear. At the beginning of March I had sentinel lymph node removal and was due to go for results on the 30th. I was half expecting the call and after hearing Boris Johnson's speech last night even more so. First thing this morning I received the call asking me not to attend however the consultant is going to call me at the same time. Obviously until I receive those results I don't know my ongoing treatment. However I have other small areas dotted around the breast, one tested was benign but he wants me to have radiotherapy for 3 weeks to zap those. I feel this may be put on hold.
I have been on sick leave since January as couldn't deal with work. I am paid for 6 months full pay however I am concerned if this is delayed it will go past this. I am confused. if I fall into vulnerable group but have been self isolating due to awaiting results but find the website from the government isn't specific. Colleagues with asthma and heart conditions or living with a partner with a condition have obviously gone into isolation and won't affect their sick leave. My sick note runs out on 31st March but just wondered if I would be covered without a sick note due to my current diagnosis? I wouldn't have a problem getting a sick note but think doctors are stretched enough.
Any advice please?
Thanks in advance
Update... Caz1964 it.Won't let me reply
Got results over telephone... Lymph nodes clear and plan was to have radiotherapy and letrozole for 5 years. They hadn't had multi team meeting due to.virus at that point. Today I got call to say following that meeting my tissue is now on its way to America for. oncotype dx. To determine whether chemo would be beneficial. Not what I was expecting to hear but they are being thorough.
