I’ve just arrived at work but have good news- clear margins, a tiny bit of cancer in one of three lymph nodes, but NO CHEMO!! I’m so relieved! Letrozole once the results of a blood test come through, and I’ve basically been discharged!! 

Excellent news xx

Well been to hospital for results from surgery.  Clear margins in breast but 1 node positive , so they now checking to see how aggressive it is then will decide if I need chemo first or radio in breast and armpit.  Been given tamoxifen.   Also said the lump was 17mm not 22mm as they thought.  So a bit of good news.   C

good news and bad got you lovely I had a trace  in one node , I after finding this out opted and nagged for removal of all nodes in left arm with a second operation I found that by removing all lymph nodes if it had soread through that they would be gone and destroyed it’s not a easy decision but I begged for it I’m still very happy now that I had it . 
good luck with your next steps 

I also take tamoxifen they are not to bad I find the brands sometimes are worse side effects I will only accept the tillomed brand others don’t suit me xx love lata xx 

Thank Lara, will see what they say on next appointment. Its mylan brand I’ve been given x

Ask about the Oncotype DX test this saved me from chemo x 

Thankyou.  I will x 

Good luck lovely always here to chat or help xx 

Hi Jacksonjet,

I am glad to see that there is some good news interspersed between the bad and hope that the cancer turns out not to be too aggressive. I sincerely hope that tests reveal that this is one of the less aggressive strains. Please keep in touch and let us know.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks Jolamine x

Hi Lara , they automatically tested for this and it’s good news. Scored 15 so don’t need to go through chemo. So 5 days of radiotherapy is all that is required.  Xx 

Yayyyv

im so happy that oncotyoe saved me too amazing science 

I had 5 days of radio too then straight on to tamoxifen xx 

the day I found out no chemo I cried my eyes out and had a massive party xx. 

I am sooo happy.  I will be celebrating too this weekend.   How did the 5 day radio affect you? X
