Sentinel lymph node scan and biopsy operation.
“Your cancer is invasive”
On 10th June we had a meeting with the breast surgeon, Miss Waheed. She told us out of the 4 lymph nodes removed, 1 of them contained a 3.5mm deposit of cancer. She explained this means the cancer is invasive and has found a way out of the ducts. She advised that after my mastectomy I'm likely to need chemo. I couldn't speak, felt numb and the tears rolled. She advised during my mastectomy more lymph nodes will be removed for examination. For a second time my world crumbled. Thoughts turned to, when this will all stop? It's a nightmare with no end in sight.
