Hi , I’m post op and just been given the “all clear “

I’m so thankful .

just wondered what this next stage will feel like ?

I’ve got a work meeting today about phased return and I’m about to get my appointments for radiotherapy which I have been told Can make you quite tired .
Should I go back or wait until the end of this cycle ?

what are people’s thoughts on Tamoxifen ? Please any advice would be really helpful

Thanks ️

Thanks , I’m not sure I’m going to take the tamoxifen , very low percentage of stopping cancer returning , might just rely on yearly checks … absolute hate taking medication at the best of time tbh

No, I had an invasive cancer. Very small. And calcifications that had cancerous cells. I had an operation taking out the left quadrant of my boob. I had a LICAP procedure and a double reconstruction.

Was yours removed via a lumpectomy?
