Breast treatment

Hi all well I've had the lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removed recovered quite well still a little sore under my arm but was relieved it was done. Went for follow up with the surgeon yesterday and was told I need more surgery as the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under my arm. Plan was just radiotherapy after lumpectomy now I feel so down as I feel I've gone backwards. Has anyone else had this. It won't be done until after Christmas probably February the waitng is so hard. 

  • Hi Molly,

    I know how you feel, things do often change as more test are being carried out unfortunately. The waiting is the worst. I was told Surgery and Radiotherapy unfortunately after Surgery my Lump had been re graded to 3 so now I have to go through Chemo that I start on the 30th Dec so I also felt disheartened.

    The positive is that they are being really thorough with you. I hope the time goes fast for you, it's a rubbish time of year aswel with this hanging over our heads.

    Stay Strong xx
