Waiting for results

Got lobula invasive breast cancer had a mascetomy with implant about 3 weeks ago at the time my lymph nodes were clear but results yesterday say 1 has cancer so I now have to go in again to have them removed I feeling anxious again and fear the worse  it was 5cm so I believe I will need chemo etc but I'm worrying its going to spread as I can't have op for 4 weeks 

  • Hello Lewisd

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent lymph node biopsy has shown there were some cancerous cells that had travelled outside of the breast. It's understandable that you're feeling really anxious about things especially now as you're waiting for more surgery. 

    I'd really encourage you to give our team ofnurses a call and talk things through with them. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice and support to help you get through these next few weeks. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that the recovery from your surgery is going smoothly. Do make sure you keep on top of your exercises as this will stand you in good stead ready for your next surgery. 

    Keep in touch Lewisd. Let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
