Excellent news
Good Evening All.
Firstly may I thank all of you for your kind words of support.
Today we met with the Oncologist. the Surgeon and somebody else who was very important! A stressful day so I can't remember everything!
The long and short of it is that although cancer was found in the sentinel node no evidence of cancer was found in the other 9 nodes removed.
The specialists say there is very little chance of the cancer having progressed to secondary tumours elsewhere.
Radiation therapy will be given for 3 weeks to the affected area (only the breast and not in the area of the sentinel node)
The cancer my Wife has is apparently quite rare. An Apocrine type, but a sub species there of. Seemingly less than 2% of breast cancer patients suffer from this type.
The specialist thought that chemo was not required. However he said he would confer with a Professor Johnson of the London Royal Marsden Hospital to ensure his recommended treatment is correct.
We both have a massive cloud lifted from us although there is still a way to go.
Thanks again for your support.
Kind regards
