Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences with you soon Marie but I just wanted to let you know your post has been seen and wish you all the best with the start of your treatment next month. No doubt a lot of anxious waiting lies ahead but you are not alone.

Kind regards,

Hello Marie

We are in a very similar position. I had results of my lumpectomy on the 23rd oct x 2 lesions, x1 20mm and one 7 mm, both grade 2. Four nodes sampled, 3 clear with 1 positive with micromets. Samples were sent on 30/10 for oncotyping so now waiting and have got an appointment for the 27th november which will take place earlier if the results come back sooner to decide in i need chemo. I will definately have radio but not till the results are known, as chemo would need to take place soon. 

I have had a few issues with my wound and needed seroma drained a few times and specialist pump dressing, so still healing and radio was delayed anyway so couldn't have started rad on time anyway.

It sounds as if our results will be back roughly the same time so it would be good to compare experiences along the way. 

Like you this will be taking things up to xmas, i had plans to travel overseas to family now all on hold, so may be quite active on the chats (lol).

From the chats i have read it seems some decisions to make once results are back, not sure I am looking forward to that, sometimes I am happy to be told what to do, but just have to wait and see.

Hope you doing ok xxx
