Hi all, I had my WLE and SNB surgery on Tuesday past for a grade 2 invasive lobular Carcinoma. So far no scans have shown lymph node spread so hoping the surgery results will show the same. I have been told I’m getting 4-5 weeks of radiotherapy plus tamoxifen but they will make a decision on chemo once they have results from surgery. They told me if chemo increases my % surval rate then I will get it. I have put all my info so far into NHS predict which shows that it would increase my 15 yr survival score by about 4%. I will only be turning 60 in 15 years time so of course I want to go for the long goal! I know the benefits of chemo need to outway the risks although I am very fit and healthy just now. A big part of me doesn’t really want chemo bit a small part of me worries about the what ifs if I don’t. I know my results may indicate that I will have to have it which will be a no brainer but I’m wondering if the percentage benefit is very low how will I make that decision. Does anyone else have similar experience with this situation? Xx
wait for your snb results. They make a difference to your risk. Had similar myself, thought nodes were going to be OK based on U/S but came back positive.
