I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and just had my results meeting. Good news is they removed the tumours with a good 4cm clear margin.....not so good is that 5 out of 14 nodes are cancerous (I was shocked as I hoped it was only 1 or 2).
Now I'm really worried, I go for a CT scan soon to see if it's spread anywhere else. Also they are going to do a gene test, and the consultant said if its positive I need to decide whether I have a double mastectomy and ovaries removed.
The nurse seemed to give the impression this was routine stuff ( as there are more than 4 abnormal lymph nodes).
I'm trying not to google, but I wondered if anyone else is going through a similar thing. I know they have to tell you all the possible sensarios, but I can't sleep. My mind is going overtime ( I have anxiety anyway,). I cant speak to anyone st the clinic, they are so busy, I feel I'm hampering them. The waiting room was so full today, ladies were stood waiting outside. So sad to see that.
