Hi I had a mamogram, a small lump was seen, removed & also 1 node. Lump was clear as was the node, but I have been told I need to take Tamoxfen and have 3 weeks of radiotherapy. I have no idea what type of cancer I had/have (do you say had or have?) I assume I have oestrogen + receptors as that is why I have been given Tamoxifen? Everyone else that writes on here seems to know what type they have or had. I do know that it was a grade 2, I think?
Can anyone help? I have left a message with the breast care nurse at the hospital as I assume I should know and be told exactly what it is?
