Hi everyone it’s been a mixed day for me today.
I had full mastectomy with lymph node removal. It was 20cm the chemotherapy stopped shrinking the little bugger, however my amazing surgeon got clear margins. I also had a 12 mm lesion in my liver that after 4 cycles of chemotherapy and immunotherapy went to 5mm. I’m just worried as they now want a CT and MRi scan to make sure cancer is still just in my liver so we can start next treatment. I am obviously dreading the scan and results I have triple negative. And since the operation I have had pain in the opposite shoulder to the mastectomy so overthinking and scared it’s know in my shoulder.

Hi @sal74, thank you for your note.
While you wait for the scans, I wonder if it may be helpful for you to speak to our team of breast care nurses. We have information on how to reach them here.
If you prefer, you can ask them a question directly by posting in the Ask our Nurses board, right on this forum: Latest Ask our Nurses your questions topics - Breast Cancer Now forum
We also have a page with info on what happens at appointments, which may be helpful: What happens at a breast clinic appointment? | Breast Cancer Now
I hope you’re soon able to put your mind at rest. We’re here to chat things through at any time.
Bernard
