Hi Judimam. They couldn't really tell on scans to be honest. It was a shock to me when he told me it had spread, but is only very small in my 1st node, please stay as positive as you can, its a very testing time I know. I have recovered well I will add from my operation. Keep coming back to the forums and chat to us, everyone will help you through your journey. Love and hugs xx

Very true June, its one of the questions on my ever growing list to ask. I'm confused as to the different treatments people are offered/have for relevantly the same type of cancer, grading, stages, age etc....minds in overdrive. Hugs to all Gules xx

Just to mention, I'm grade 2, stage 2, so not so bad, lump was small 20mm, removed with a good clearance around it, surgeon said and at 45 years old, were going to be 'aggressive' with treatment as being young.....haven't been called young for awhile..lol. Xx

Thanks Sue, I hope all goes well for your next steps. Not removing the nodes is what the POSNOC study is about, as America found that removing the nodes if cancer is only found in 1st or 2nd is apparently of no benefit? My consultant said that America is way ahead of us in research/treatment and they want to follow it here, but need 1900 women to take part in this, computer selects whether you have nodes out with the POSNOC study, obviously you can withdraw at anytime. I know only I can decide if I want nodes out, its what we all feel best for us. So difficult....especially still having to have the other treatment of chemo, radio and tabs, either way. I'm pulling my own hair out here...so won't need to worry about losing it...lol sorry about the humour, my way of controlling my feelings. Thank you all xx

Thanks for info CC, glad you are ok I'm worried about everything about the nodes being removed, I feel a right baby, my armpit and whole shoulder ache, tingle and are swollen, I know it takes time, its only been 3.5 weeks since the operation, my breast is fine, I couldn't be happier with that to be honest. Surgeon checked me yesterday and when I mentioned about armpit etc, he just smiled and said to be expected? Didn't give me much confidence to be honest. Xx

Thanks Sharon, when you think your all geared up on things and then it changes, I could just scream. I'm 99% sure I don't want this operation, I have been trying to explain to family my feelings on this and explaining what side effects may occur, they have researched etc and are in agreement with me to be honest. This just feels right for me. It helps knowing these forums are here with all you lovely people, even though its under horrible circumstances for us. I was prepared for the radiotherapy, but chemotherapy was a shock and when they mentioned operations after chemo, I actually started laughing...he must of thought I was bonkers...lol. much love to all x

Thanks for sharing June, when did you have your operation if you don't mind me asking? I haven't told them yet that I really don't want the nodes out, hopefully see oncologist end of this week, either way, I still need to have chemo and radiotherapy, so many questions I should of asked the surgeon yesterday, but my list is growing ready for my next appointment.

Hi all, had my results yesterday after having my lumpectomy and 2 nodes removed afew weeks ago, unfortunately it has spread to the 1st node, can anyone offer any info / advice please. The treatment offered is chemo, full node removal after chemo and radiotherapy with medication for 5 years. I do not want my nodes removed at all, as I feel it will not benefit myself, due to the side effects that may occur after having all the nodes out. I'm suffering now and I have only had 2 out. The surgeon has also asked if I will take part in POSNOC research study, (POstive Sentinel NOde: adjuvant therapy plus Clearance or axillary radiotherapy) anyone taken part in this at all? I must admit I was fine until yesterday as my surgeon after the operation said he was quite confident it wasn't in my nodes, although obviously he was 100% until he had my results. In America they have the Z11 study and virtually no longer remove all nodes if found to have early stage cancer in 1st or 2nd nodes? My surgeon told me to read up on this. I'm so confused....thanks everyone...Gules xx

Thank you Sharon....all done, waited till last, but met some lovely people, I'm quite a jokey person, so other patients ended up going down with a smile on their faces. Lucky for me as being last, the surgeon spent quite a bit of time with me at the end, as I was the last one. How have you got on Bumblebee and Eileen? Xxx
