Hi. I’ve been having test’s since 9th October and given my first lot of results on the 25th October where i was told i have duct carcinoma, stage 2, grade 3, in my right breast 23x34x20 and my lymph node is also cancerous. HER2 negative.
Then a further MRI showed up further lumps and 2 weeks ago i had biopsies taken from 5 further sites, 1 in the left but the radiographer feels that this site is ok but 1 (10mm) of the 4 on the right is cancerous and possibly 1 more (8mm) but the other 2 look ok. Also i have breast implants and the original lump is now invading the capsule.
I have an appointment this Friday for my results, and i was just wondering if there are any questions that i might not think of on the day to ask my consultant.
Im not worried about losing my implants as i just want these lumps out and to start treatment. Not sure yet if the further lumps are HER2 negative or positive yet.
Sorry for rambling on
Thanks
