Hey
so I’m new here today. Had my diagnosis around four weeks back. All mammograms missed as lobular cancer is occult (meaning not easy see on mamo) and only lumps in armpit led me to believe issue. MRI located it and all the several lumps in lymph positive too
scheduled for lumpectomy and full under Rigjt arm lymph strippage next week. Live alone so any tips on what aftermath of surgery is like and how soon can do things, drive etc, much appreciated. Radio qnd eostrogen therapy and chemo to follow
oh and happy new year
