Hi, I got my results yesterday following my single mastectomy and full node clearance. The tumor was larger than expected at 12 cm which shocked me as they told me it was slow growing. I’m not sure if that was my two tumors combined though as it just seems so large (I should have asked but mind was racing).

4 lymph nodes tested positive. Surgeon said I will need traditional chemo and possible something else called CDK 4/6….has anyone else had this type of chemo and can shed a bit of light on it? I can’t find much out online.

thank you 

  • Hi   sorry this is happening to you.  My tumour was 10cm, I had a mastectomy, axillary lymph node clearance then 8 rounds Chemotherapy and 15 round Radiotherapy.  I'm now on hormone treatment and Abemaciclib (CDK4&6) inhibitor.  Hope this helps x
