“Unstable breast”?

Hi -Ana- it's probably best to ask your surgeon to explain what this means as his idea of what it means might be something different to someone else's.  I've read about unstable cancer cells on cancer research UK but not about an unstable breast although both might mean the same thing.

My understanding of unstable cancer cells is that they have genetic damage and the implications of this vary depending on whether the cancer is hormone receptive or not. 

It really is best to ask your surgeon to explain what he means although it doesn't matter too much because what he proposes you do will be based on what he thinks will give you the best outcome.

I didn't ask many questions at all, I didn't want to know.  All I wanted to know was whether it was treatable and what my surgeon thought the best treatment plan was for me.  It was only after it was all over that I was able to face learning more about it all.  If I had tried to beforehand I knew I would send myself into a panic.  We are all different though and you need to do what you feel is best for you.

Wishing you all the best with your journey x

He did say it was hormone sensitive so that’s good, I think. But I do agree he’s going to recommend what he feels gives me the best chance of recovery.
