Hi, I am new to group and wondered how long pain, numbness and hard lump remain after having lymph nodes removed please? 

  • Hi valley side when do you get your results . My op is 16th so I won’t know till after Xmas 

  • Hi Redcar,

    I get my results on the 14th December. Good luck with your surgery xx 

  • Hi Valleyside, I also had my op (therapeutic mammaplasty with 1 lymph node biopsy) on the 1st December.  My op got put back 3 weeks as I needed a further mri and biopsy to check other suspect areas.  That made waiting even more stressful I must say.  It is the waiting that makes it difficult.  I also expect my results on 14th December.  My CN said that due to the size of the tumour (35mm) I would be having radiotherapy and hormone blockers.  My tumour is E and P 8, but HER negative.  I am staying positive as I need to be, and am happy with my smaller but healing left boob.  I read yesterday that boobs are sisters, not twins.  That helped.  

  • Thank you for your message. I have no idea about my HER2 results because I haven’t had them. I had DCIS and IDC in my right breast. The DCIS was 8mm and the IDC 14mm, so relatively small. I have been told I will need radiotherapy.
