I’ve recently been diagnosed with early stages of breast cancer. I’ve had a lumpectomy and lymph node removal and am waiting for radiotherapy once my results are back. I am due to travel abroad in June for a holiday is this ok.?
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
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.
