Hi I have been recently diagnosed with Right Breast 12mm Grade 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma ER 8/8 PR 8/8 HER2 negative E cadherin positive .

I am having magseed & magtrace then a lumpectomy and Targit iort (Targeted Radiotherapy) on 29th March. Would be great to hear from anyone who has had this procedure.

Realy scared about the anaesthetic as I have Severe COPD and mild Bronchiectasis also have fungal lung disease Aspergillosis.

Also constantly worried about Lymphoedema.

I am 61

Hi @Katitkins , 

I’m sorry to hear you are feeling scared and are constantly worried about lymphoedema. If you have any questions or just want to talk things through, our Breast Care Nurses are available on our free phone Helpline 0808 800 6000. 

You may also find our Someone Like Me service useful which can put you in touch with a volunteer who has been trained to help, whether you’d like to speak to someone who has personal experience of the challenges you are facing or someone who can simply offer a listening ear. 

Sending my warmest wishes,
