Hi, diagnosed 2 weeks ago with Mucinous breast cancer, plan is a lumpectomy on Wednesday, followed later by radiotherapy.
I have been asked to consider joining a trial, if I do, depending on my tissue results it may mean not having the radiotherapy.
Ive been researching information tonight, but conflicting information about whether having radiotherapy or not is best. Anyone been in a similar situation?
Hope you have s lovely few days away. I get the change of scenery before you do your radio. Hope the Letrozole goes well xx
Thank you. Day 3 post op I feel I am doing really well but can’t believe how tired I am. The trial is a study looking at women who have a small risk of their cancer returning to see if they need to have radiotherapy. I won’t know if I actually go into the trial until I get my results in approximately 2 weeks.
I’ll take a look at the trial you’ve mentioned. I’m feeling ok. Still a bit tired in the evenings but apart from that I’m not bad.
I can’t wait for my results though. It’s such hard going. My dressing is still hanging in there and I’ve been told not to remove it unless absolutely necessary. Glad yours went ok. Let me know how you do xx
Hi hope you’re doing ok.
I was lucky I think. My surgeon had a space and although she said I could wait I just grabbed the opportunity to get it done. I didn’t even think about it xx
