Hi
ILC grade 2, ++ HER- , diagnosed early Feb. Nearly 4 weeks post surgery.
So went for wound check this morning and my results from surgery were in, so I was given those at the same time! I wasnt expecting this, so didn’t have any preprepared questions. Tricky anyway until you know the results!
My surgeon explained that margins were good and he was happy with that!
The sentinel node removed was positive!- only one removed, so hard to know if any others are/maybe positive.
Given the facts, its now making a decision on node clearance or not.
Tissue is today being sent for an oncotype test to determine further treatment. I have been told likely case scenario radiotherapy and endocrine therapy.
I really need some advice on this and others that have been through this and the decisions you made please
I really appreciate and value everyone’s advice! Thanks so much!
