Hi, new here.
I had breast cancer surgery 3 weeks ago (lumpectomy). Biopsy showed they remove 16mm grade 3 and a grade 2 24mm invasive ductal carcinoma in 90mm of DCIS. 6 lymph nodes remove, 1 cancerous. Unfortunately, the margin was not cleared so have a second surgery booked for a couple of weeks time.
Pain is getting a little easier.
Good luck Clarky. I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer and opting for double mastectomy with immediate breast construction. Can anyone advise about keeping the nipples? I am reading conflicting advise. I am a BRACA 2 carrier and so have been having annual mammograms. My operation is in 3 weeks
