Pathology results from Mastectomy

I was diagnosed with ER/PR+ breast cancer in February 2022. I was advised to have two surgeries after which they were unable to reach clear margins.
On this basis I was advised that chemotherapy was necessary. Five weeks after chemotherapy my surgeon advised a full mastectomy, completed in October 2022. The final pathology from the tissue following my mastectomy stated there was no disease present in the breast. Has anyone here has a similar experience with the same ER/PR+ T2N1 diagnosis?
Dear AdaJ
Thank you for posting on our online community. I am sorry to see you have not had a reply yet.
You have been through a very difficult time during 2022. No doubt this year is hard too trying to recover both physically and emotionally. We as cancer nurses would very much like to support you at this time. We could also make suggestions regarding getting support from other ladies who have been through breast cancer treatment. This may be through one of our Peer to Peer trained volunteers who have had breast cancer or directing you to breast cancer support group meetings both online or meeting in person.
You may also want to avail of our free counselling service as going through a cancer diagnosis and treatment can bring up so many emotions. It can help to have a trained counsellor to support you at this time
So I do hope we will hear from you. Our phone number is 1800 200 700. We are here Mon-Fri 9-5pm
Kind regards
Cancer Nurse
