Hi
I had mastectomy seven weeks ago grade3 , 12 nodes removed 6 nodes positive my results were still grade 3 after operation l have not been told stage yet, appointment Monday coming with oncologist for treatment plan I know I am having chemotherapy, radiotherapy because grade 3 cancer and also lymph node involved take care the worst is the waiting
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
