Hi, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in January. I had chemotherapy and recently a mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction. Results of surgery showed that out of 20 lymph nodes, none were cancerous. The two tumours were no longer present, neither was there any cancer cells in breast tissue, which there had been previously. I am happy to say I am now cancer free. I have been told next stage is radiotherapy as a precautionary measure and to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. They didn't mention how many sessions I would be having and I'm waiting for an oncology appointment.
I wondered what other people's experience has been, after being told all cancer has gone, with regard to radiotherapy.
