Hi I e had fantastic news today at my check up 3 weeks post op. My lymph nodes are clear and I don’t need any further treatment so no radiotherapy or chemotherapy. I must say I was very apprehensive at the thought of either. I had margins of 4.5 mm ( surgeon was looking for 5 but said that would be ok). Hoping those of you still going through treatment all the best . I will get seen every 2 months over the next 2 years.
Great news Nicky. You can breathe now. Well done

That's great news and a good place to be. Just remember that if you have any concerns in between appointments your CNS will always be happy to take a call and if need be get you in sooner to reassure you.
congratulations.

Yes I will. They have given me open access anyway which is nice. Might be helped by the fact I often work in the clinic next door!!
