Hi
Had lumpectomy in April for triple neg on the edge of the wide excisions new cancer of 2 mm was found. It was left and chemo started it will be removed at the end of treatment. Anyone else had this ? Just wondered if I will have more chemo after or straight to radiotherapy ???
Hi Bonnie Boo
It depends on your oncologist. I had to have chemo after my surgery the last time I had breast cancer as I didn't have a complete response to chemo. I had it in tablet form instead of infusion. I had to have 8 tablets a day for two weeks and then I had a week off. I took 4 in the morning and four in the evening. I had to take them for 6 months.
Best wishes
