Rads for 4cm tumor?

me too, and I also want to know answer

I had surgery before chemo and the scans only picked up two of my lymph nodes as being enlarged. After the surgery I found out that 8 of the nodes were involved with 5 of them having macrometastasis. The pathology report will provide a more accurate situation. Good luck

Hi ... My sentinel node was negative and no other nodes shows up as indicating involvement so just the se final node was removed for dissection and analysis. I'm jus now beginning to sort through what happened and my rads to breast are hurting terribly. Gets too much sometimes and I just start crying. The bone pain from the Lupron or the letrozole has disabled me , a once very active runner. I suspect being I acid reduced for several years depleted my magnesium levels to a critical low as well as interfering greatly with vitamin d absorption. I'm going to have my ovaries removed so at least I can take one less medication that being the Lupron injections. I still need another surgery for a torn tendon in my foot. And another Rotator cuff repair. Getting my energy back is what I want most so I can distract myself from thinking about what happened. I feel very alone In his as current friends and family don't want to talk about it. One of my sons died accidentally 5 years ago when he was 22 and my middle soN. Who is now 26 says he can't handle it and starts to cry, so we avoid it and when he is ready I'm sure he will be a great support but my youngest son is disabled with Xxyy syndrome and kinda knows what cancer is but only associates it with death so there is no telling him anything and thank goodness his father found it in his Heart to let my son Stay with me full time now since that is what my son wants and we are able to help each other at a much slower pace. I'm afraid of a reoccursanced And I guess just like the next person, I just don't know what my boys would do without me and that's what they say to me. That has added stress. Getting rid oF toxic relationships has helped on one hand but on the other made me feel more alone I just can't justify the relationships that are all about them even after my diagnosis... Certainly I deserved a little consideration. I'm looking forward to hopefully forming a support group here in the Fraser valley region of britIsh Columbia, Canada. Anyone from Hope or the surrounding area please message me. If your are like me and want to get together to do activities And support one another. Because I have discovered that only someone who has gone through it can truly understand.
