I was diagnosed with a malignant Phyllodes tumour at the start of July - about 6cm x 7cm
Surgery end of August to remove it . Am having more surgery at the end of October to take away more tissue to ensure margins are clear enough. Then radiotherapy which will likely be after Christmas.
I know the first 2 years after are crucial as reoccurrence within this time frame has a much poorer prognosis. I don’t want to be paranoid about it coming back but am worried and anxious. Tips on dealing with this please?
