Hi Catrin
Thanks for posting.
Waiting to hear about a treatment plan following surgery can be stressful especially when more results are awaited. It’s also quite natural to wonder what the next treatment steps may be now that the results from your surgery has shown invasive breast cancer
Decisions about your futuretreatment plan will be discussed by the multidisciplinary team (MDT) at your hospital to determine what’s best in your individual situation. Your future treatment will depend on a number of factor such as the type, grade, size and stage of the cancer. Other things such as margins, hormone receptors and HER2 levels will also be considered.
The typical next steps will be a further discussion with your treatment team when all your results are available. We are unable to say if further surgery will be suggested but we’ve put together a list of questions you may want to ask your treatment team about your likely future treatments.
We offer a range of free supportive services that you might be interested in. For more details about all of these services, please see the information on the link.
