Hi, is anyone taking part in the SMALL trial
This is my 2nd diagnosis of breast cancer.
I've been cancer free for 15 years. The last time I had lumpectomy and radiotherapy, followed by 5 years of Tamoxifen. Caught early.
My recent mammogram has now showed up a very small cancer in the opposite breast. Grade 1 about 7mm
I've been asked if I want to take part in the SMALL trial, which has kind of thrown a spanner in the works for me.
I'd prepared my mind for surgery, but the trial is less invasive. No lymph nodes get removed etc.
If anyone else has had this, how did you get on. I'm just nervous in case they do not remove it all.
I'm under Royal Marsden again.
I don't know whether to just opt for surgery, or go for it.
