Hello D 

this is actually my first post on the forum I was looking 

for feedback as I saw my oncologist today to discuss 

my chemo treatment and I was interested in hearing anyone’s experiences of EC chemo and Docetaxel 

although I was also offered the optima clinical trial 

and now I am very conflicted ! if anyone wishes to post on there experience it would be great ! 

Getting back to you D I posted back to you as I was I  your position 9 weeks ago 

I had a lumpectomy and they took 6 lymph nodes for testing 

I was told 2/6 lymph nodes are positive for cancer 

and I had the CT scan and bone scan 

the bone scan was not to bad I wasn’t overstruck on the 

CT but the staff were brilliant it will be a worry for you 

whilst you await your results but hopefully you’ll be ok 

I was with 2 /6 and my Breast tumour was 4 cm  I then went on to have all the lymph nodes out I found the second op much harder and I have to have physio this week on my arm

did they take a sample of lymph nodes for testing or all of them at once on your first op ? 

your situation sounds similar to mine and I was clear it hadn’t spread from the lymph node site  so yours maybe unlikely  to have spread further if this helps you ? 

I am hoping you will have a good result also 

you can’t help but worry I did a lot of crying in this 

period … 

I feel for you D let me know how you get on 
sending you positive vibes xx 

Thanks for your reply and hope you're doing okay.

My surgeon only took 5 full sentinel nodes and  as far as I know I don't need to go back for more out, unless anything shows on the scans maybe.

Great you had no spread, fingers crossed the same for me.

Just a scary time and surreal that this is all happening.

Will let you know how I go and positive vibes to you too!

Xx

Hello D

and what your next treatment plan is 

wishing you all the best xx
