Hi all, I’m 5 weeks post mastectomy today, just had my follow up, told 1 out of 6 sentinel nodes positive so booked in for node clearance, also told Im Her2 positive , initial biopsy said negative but node has proved otherwise ! Could anyone share their journey if you’ve shared the same experience as me ? Especially drugs used and time scales Thankyou xx
Hi, I'm afraid my experience is different to yours, but I noticed you’d had no replies yet as the site is busy, so my reply will bump you up and hopefully someone with some experience likes yours will see snd respond.
Hi Parisha. Whimst I'm no medical expert as you have had surgery you will probably get offered radiotherapy and then hormonal drugs depending on your type of BC. I would very much doubt you will need chemo which is always a blessing. Good luck xx
