Hi, 

I have been diagnosed with IDC grade 2 stage 1, ER+ but still waiting on HER2 results. Lumpectomy with latissimus Dorsi flap reconstruction and axillary node removal on 6th January. Then definitely radiotherapy and possibly chemotherapy dependant on HER2 status and clear margins and nodes. I'm definitely nervous but glad I know roughly what's going to happen. Any advice on what to expect from surgery would be greatly appreciated xx

  • Hi, I had a lumpectomy but no reconstruction so a more simple operation. It was a day procedure, no drains and I have healed well.  I am sure others with slightly more relevant experience will be along soon to comment,  best of luck
