Hi all Blush  I've just had my results after a mastectomy for a grade 2 invasive breast cancer (HER-2 positive) following 5 months of chemotherapy. 

There were no alive cells left at the tumor site which is great but a small amount was in the axillary gland when it was removed. They're going to decide tomorrow whether I have a full axillary clearance and radio of the breast or just radio of both breast and armpit. 

Feeling disappointed that it's not been a complete response in the node Pensiveii don't know much about a full axillary clearance and just wondering what impact this might potentially have on my life moving forward. Looking for anyone with experience...

Also looking for anyone with experience of the phezgo injection with the tiny bit of chemotherapy in... Nervous about side effects as I need to get back to work... 

Much love to all xx
