Hi I am Jennie, just had an op to remove stage 2 invasive lobular cancer and primary nodes having been diagnosed on 3rd March 2022. It's exactly 25 years ago (to the month) that I was previously diagnosed with stage 4 malignant melanoma in the Lymph under my left arm and I was told if it had spread I had 6 months... and I am still here after 2 huge operations to remove my cancer and having had a FULL axillary clearance (all Lymph nodes down the left side). 2 years of injections of Roferon-A through my stomach helped to getting my "all clear" after 5 years and outpatient discharge from Weston Park Hospital after 10 years at age 35.
Now, 25 years after the above "hell"... I have this... little b*gger! Had my op 2 days ago and feel like I've gone 10 rounds with the Gypsy King but resting at home now. Results due 4th May. I am HER2 negative but been told I may still need further surgery and chemo (depends on results) and definitely need radiotherapy and 5 years of suppressant drugs (possibly tamoxifen). The waiting is the worst part... roll on 4th May... and here I go again!!!!
Would love to chat with anyone... keeping positive and hope you all are too... xxx
