Hi everyone I'm new in here.
i was diagnosed in January with grade 2 er+ Her2- breast cancer. My surgery was delayed due to covid and was put on letrizole and zoladex. It was an awful time mentally as I worried each day my cancer would spread . In May I git sciatica in right side (had it a few years back) . The pain went away but numbness right to my toes stayed. My surgeon at the time said it was unlikely to be related to breast cancer and an X-ray was clear
fast forward to today , I had a mastectomy and reconstruction early August , pathology showed lymph nodes clear . I don't need chemotherapy but have elected to take radiotherapy as I want to make sure I e done all I can to prevent recurrence. The geno test they carried out showed recurrence risk at 9 years as 6%
despite the encouraging position I find myself in , I am worried sick that it had already spread by the time of my mastectomy due to the delay and the fact I still have numbness in my right leg with the odd bit of pain
would the pathology report show chances of spread via bloodstream?
ive not been able to pluck up the courage to ask and it's impacting on me being able to feel encouraged with my results
any advice welcome x
Thankyou
