Hi All
Recently diagnosed with very early breast cancer which the core biopsy removed 10 out of 12 nm of the lump at the 8 o'clock position left breast. This lump is more or less against the chest wall inasmuch I felt the needle hit my rib during one collection of tissue. I was just told about the following radiotherapy risk to my heart and lungs, specifically causing a losdible angiosarcoma. Since tbe lump was so small, 2 mammograms and 3 ultrasounds missed it, and their appears to be no lymph involvement, is radiotherapy truly necessary to "prevent further lumps developing in tbe breast"? Could a PET scan predetermine whether the radiotherapy would be necessary?
Thanks kindly,
Cici
Hi
I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer but it's great that it's been caught really early.
I didn't have that type of cancer or radiotherapy, so can't help with your questions, but I noticed that you hadn't had any responses yet.
It might be an idea to also post this question in the breast cancer group, which I can see you're a member of, as they have a monthly radiotherapy thread (link).
