Hello All,
I have been recently diagnosed with cancer in my left breast and some lymph nodes (after biopsies). I have a date for a mastectomy where he will also ‘clear out’ my lymph nodes. Please can somebody send me a good outcome story as I am very anxious about the affected lymph nodes. On the positive side I have had bone and CT scans and they were clear. Many thanks.
Hello,
Sorry to hear your diagnosis. I had to have all my lymph nodes removed as one of my three sentinel nodes was positive. After a long three week wait I found out that all of these were clear so just need radiotherapy and hormone treatment.
Wishing you all the best,

Hello Littlemo,
Thinking of you, my good wishes for your surgery. I had a Mastectomy 5 years ago all my nodes were clear (right side) didn’t need chemotherapy or radiotherapy, however unfortunately 14 month ago the cancer decided to return the left side, this time just a lumpectomy with radiotherapy, however nodes were clear again. So keeping my fingers crossed for you for a good outcome with the nodes.
Look after yourself take one day at a time, brave lady let us know how your getting on.
Big hugs Tili 
Hi, I decided on a lumpectomy, and will be having a axillary lymph node too. I’m worried about lymphedema and having to protect the arm. When are you having your operation? Mine is the 7th July. When is yours? I’m having a LD flap to my breast x
