Hi Ang , I would check with oncologist but I am sure you will be ok to travel by then ,
good luck ,stay positive and stay in touch xx
Hi Ang, I am in the same situation. I had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy 2 days ago. It depends on the results. If the surgeon got clear margin and no cancer cells are found in sentinel nodes, then you should stay radiotherapy in April/May and should be able to travel in June. If the surgeon didn’t get clear margin and/or cancer cells are found in sentinel nodes, then you will go back for the further surgery and your treatment plan may change. Finger crossed we both don’t need further surgeries. Good luck x
HI Izzy
I failed to mention it was my second op, the invasive cancer was removed, the lymph nodes were clear, but the margins weren’t clear for the non invasive cancer, so I had a little more taken away.
So I am waiting for the results for that.
Apologies I did not make this clear
Hope all goes well for you
