Would this be a high percentage of lymph nodes or not??

I've recently had a single mastectomy then followed by Axillary clearance, was given the option of this, I found out altogether that in total 8/34 lymph nodes were shown to infected, I know everyone has different number of nodes but wondered if the amount I had infected is particularly high or not?   I'm waiting on starting adjuvant chemo now which I'm not looking forward to but onwards & upwards 

  • Hi Halley,

    Ideally it would be best to talk this through with your doctor/specialist at the next opportunity, as they will be best placed to advise specific to your situation.

    You are also welcome to give our nurses a call if you would like to. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5) and they may be able to provide some information for you.

    I hope things go OK with your treatment.

    Wishing you all the best,
