2 weeks ago I had a bilateral mastectomy. Surgeon (a wonderful Mr Thomas at Carlisle) said the Lymph nodes looked like they were probably clear.
So the nurse calls me yesterday at half 4 to say can you come in first thing in the morning we have your results.
I go to the pub to while away the time with my OH and friend, wake up in a blind panic at 7:30 this morning to dash up the motorway.
Turns out Mr Thomas was right, no lymph nodes involved, and clear margins.
It was a grade 3 which I thought was a bad thing but as he pointed out not necessarily as it was fast growing it hadn’t been in my body long and looks very very unlikely that it managed to escape from the breast.
So as far as I can tell that’s about the best news you can get isn’t it. I can’t imagine better.
Don’t yet know about the er/pr/her2 side of things and will see onc in 4 weeks but no rush. I’m going to enjoy this month.
I know they don’t use the word cured but I feel like it’s gone and have no reason the believe otherwise.
If any of you visit the lakes this easter and see a very happy, very flat chested lady sitting by a lake having a picnic with a tall handsome fellow and a mad collie dog shout Angie and I’ll wave back 
I hope everyone else gets news as good.
Angie
