Thanks to all for good wishes.
Well I received my results - 23mm grade 2 tumour removed with clear margins, 2/8 lymph nodes were cancerous, Oestrogen receptor positive 8/8 and Her2 negative. Not suspected to have travelled elsewhere so don't need further scans but this may be checked later? I am at high risk of getting further tumours in either breast.
Have appointment with Oncologist next week, 15 May. I will be having chemo for 6 months then Radiotherapy for 3-4 weeks followed by Tamoxifen (or possibly a similar new drug) for 5 years. Chemo will start in 4-6 weeks once I am healed from WLE, SNB and axillary clearance.
I had thought it may have spread so I am considering myself lucky and I am so grateful that my team in Salisbury are so fantastic and so quick which I know is not the case for everyone. I hate that I will be receiving treatment well into next year but it is what it is. I have to stop my HRT which is going to make my treatment that much harder. I am accepting my lot for now but time will tell how I cope when this really sinks in.
Hope others awaiting results have got good news and/or treatment plans. It is much easier when you know your results and plans are put into place - you feel just a little more in control.
Best wishes
