I had a Lumpectomy on 11th June 2015, for grade 3 BC, stage btwn 1 & 2. Ignored the tiny pinhead lump when I first found it in either Feb or March. In April it looked like a cyst, so I went to my gp. Referred for a mammogram, I was seen within a week & half. Had a wide local incision Lumpectomy, & LNR x 3. Offered a choice of 2 chemos, Fec which I did 3 of. Docetaxels I could only cope with 1/3. Started the RT in January 2016, had 4/15. Went back for a CT scan to restart the RT. Now decided after scan which hurt my back, I’ve refused further treatment & follow-up apts. Just want the yearly mammograms instead.
