Stage 2: Bilateral mastectomy Dec. 18th, 2014

issamarie · January 2015

Hello all! I am new and trying to learn about treatment after bilateral mastectomy. I see my oncologist this coming Wednesday, Jan 7th. I had bilateral mastectomy done Dec 18, with expanders for future reconstruction. Started out with 3 drains, now 2 JP drains still in. Invasive ductal carcinoma with 13 mm tumor. Grade 3. With DCIS in large ducts. I had lymph node involvement. 10 nodes taken, 1 sentinal node was positive for metastatic cancer. Staging pT1c, pN1a. Wondering of anyone has a similar diagnosis and what treatment you had. My surgeon says radiation and chemo are very possible.

HI - What 'type'? Estrogen = or -; Progestren + or -; Her2/neu + or - ????

Come over to December Surgery Sisters for info on how you are doing with the surgery - https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/91/topic/... Also if you look at the top right of the screen and click on Profile you can add this info to your signature line. Once done you can edit it as needed for additional treatments, etc.

This is a marathon not a sprint. Deep breathe!!! BTW that is a nice small tumor.
