Hi Dawn, I had my masectomy on the 30th of June and 9 days after I had a call to meet my consultant. I was a nervous wreck because they said 2 weeks. I'm currently waiting to see my oncologist at the end of this month. Why don't you give your breast care nurse specialist a call. I'm sure they would be able to tell you how much longer. Good luck.

Hi Miarose got my results today. I was a nervous reck. I didn't sleep last night. I basically prepared myself for the worst possible news. So either way I wouldn't be that disappointed. My worse fear was that it has spread to other organs, but thank God it hasn't. Waiting now for appointment with my oncologist because I will be having chemotherapy. They initially told me 2 weeks after masectomy I will receive a letter however 8 days after surgery I received a phone call so I was definitely worried that it was bad news for them to call so early.

Hi just joined today. Was diagnosed with breast cancer on the 19th of June. had a masectomy on the 30th of June. went today to see my consultant for results. 9 out of the 10 lymph nodes are affected so will need chemo. Have been reading that there is a possibility that chemo can make you infertile. so don't know if I should freeze my eggs before chemo or take my chances and see if I can still get pregnant after. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks Tracey
