  • Thank you for your reply and good luck 

  • Hi, hope you are well and recovering quickly. I had a mastectomy eight months ago, the full report of the breast took about a month. I have not had chemo or radiotherapy as the detailed report said all the effected breast tissue margins were good and no breast tissue remained. As your lymp nodes are clear that’s a really good sign.  Unfortunately it’s just waiting for the full report - good luck
