Hi everyone, 

I was just after a bit of information please.

I was diagnosed back in May with recurrent breast cancer. 

The first time I had it, I had a mastectomy. It was stage 2 with no lymph nodes involved so all the treatment they advised was tamoxifen. Nearly 5 years on I found a lump on the side I had a mastectomy and then found out it was cancer again.

This time it is worse and my surgeon said I will most likely need chemo, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. My first oncology appointment is on Wednesday and I was just wondering what I should expect. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
