Hi, I had a mastectomy 3 weeks ago, on my follow up appointment they had clear margins on the breast tissue but said I had micrometastatic in lymph nodes the done a slnb and removed 2 nodes, I had a grade 2 invasive with high grade DCIs, wondering if anyone has been through similar and what treatment they had, waiting to see the oncologist. Thank you
Hi polly, I know it's really hard to take things in, and yes when you get a plan it will help, my oncotype was done because I was a grade 3 different hospitals have different views, I was concerned that I had small cells in my lymph nodes but they honestly were not concerned , all we can do is put our trust on our experts let me know how things are when you get your results it's hard but please stay strong xxx
