Hi there,
Family member newly diagnosed
Diagnosis made after presenting for routine mammogram
Lump is not palpable - had mammo been done 6 months previous it would not have shown up
Lumpectomy and node biopsy done
Awaiting results of these
Initial scan in doctors showed no presence of cancer in lymph nodes
What is the likelihood that it will have spread to lymph nodes?
Doc initally said radiotherapy only
Reading now about different types of hormones if it isn't ER or PR + then chemo may be needed
This has all been an (unwanted) fast learning curve.
Trying to find out any more info I can find out
