Another surgery-mastectomy tomorrow!12/12/12

I suppose it is already tomorrow for you uk peeps!

I saw my surgeon for lumpectomy and node clearance follow up this afternoon.

She confirmed what I had already heard via my gp: Positive margins. Grade 3 malignancy with comedo necrosis. Also that the tumour has numerous projections infiltrating the breast tissue, and is therefore not removable as a mass. It has a diameter/spread of “at least 8cm”. In short, the only option is mastectomy, and as she happened to have a cancellation, I am booked for TOMORROW!

Apart from being slightly stunned at the speed of things, I am very happy to " get 'er done! " as they say in these parts! My initial biopsy showed er/pr negative. I don’t yet know HER-2 status, but not surprised if I will turn out triple negative. Talk later.
