l was initially diagnosed with encapsulated papillary carcinoma. I had a wide local excision on 19th of June. My results came back yesterday and the cancer is now termed as invasive solid papillary carcinoma.  Surgeon just as surprised as myself. I now have to undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy and re-excision to take a bit more breast tissue.

l was wondering how people recovered after a re-excison. The surgery is in less than two weeks and l’m only just starting to heal from the lumpectomy. l also have concerns about the lymph node biopsy as well.

 Any advice or experiences would be helpful as a bit traumatised by it all.
