Experiences with

Lumpectomy

I had IORT July 2018 for a 1.5 cm ductal carcinoma. My doc said "oops, I missed a little cancer you better have adjutant radiation as well." I complied. In June of 2020 my surgery site became infected and I developed and still have a seroma/hematoma. I received lymphatic physical therapy and now wound

🌞 I have my first tomosynthesis mammogram, post lumpectomy and radiation, this morning. I will have to wait for results until Monday when I meet with my radiology oncologist. Say a prayer for me! Best, Colleen

I have my first scan since my 12/2020 lumpectomy and 19 rounds of radiation in early 2021. I have a follow up appt appointment on Monday with the results from the bilateral tomosynthesis mammogram. Nerves! Wish me good news! Best, Colleen

Background: TNBC stage 1 grade 3 , had lumpectomy and so far three rounds of chemo, fast track radiation after that for left breast.

Is there anything you wishyou'd known when deciding on lumpectomy v's mastectomy?

I'm 2 years out from diagnosis with TNBC stage 1 with lumpectomy, chemo and radiation.

I haven't heard about my lung CT yet but have to also have a Lumpectomy at the end of February. When they operate they want to remove a couple of lymph nodes. Can anyone give me their experience of their operation, as explained to me by a nurse, that it's only a 10% chance of getting Lymphedema.

It started with the cancer at the precise same location as my lumpectomy in 2019 when I was originally Stage 2 with lymph node infection. Went through the lumpectomy in 2019 (Feb), 4 months of Chemo, a full right lymph nodal dissection, 2 months of radiation that ended Nov 2019.

My primary stage 2 tumor was treated with chemo, lumpectomy, radiation in 2019 with what appeared to be a complete response at the time. This January I got the current diagnosis with mets in bones and liver. First line treatment with Xeloda failed.

Plan was to do lumpectomy mid October but now she discussed me at tumor board with her colleges and all plans have changed .

Since being diagnosed with first inflammatory breast cancer then told it was a typo, it was actually stage 3b invasive ductal carcinoma after a lumpectomy in December of 2017 and them insisting I rush into dense dose chemo, it’s been a nightmare of a different kind.

I have CLL and taking Ibrutinib which is a targeted chemo drug and now I have just had a lumpectomy for breast cancer and I was given Letrozole tablets which I need to take for 5 years but had a severe reaction to it and wondered it anyone else with CLL also had breast cancer and has found an alternative

After all these drugs and treatments, I'm scarred to get my cells angry from being hit again...was on Perjeta and Herceptin and 2 other systemic chemos, radiation and lumpectomy.

I had a lumpectomy for hormone related breast cancer, along with radiotherapy and then calcium suppliments just as Covid emerged.... I was put on Letrozole, which became increasingly unbearable due to bone pain. After a fair while and lots of complaining I was changed to Anestrozole.

December 2019 lumpectomy and radiation. I started with health unlocked for BRVO and eyelea injections. My central vision is gone but I have a great left eye. My active 92 year old Mother and I became roomates for the last 15 years. Mom became ill at the beginning of March.

After spending a week of chasing up Christie's for Lung CT, Wythenshawe for Breast pre-OP and appointment for Lumpectomy, I had .....

She has been offered a lumpectomy with radiotherapy or 2nd mastectomy with medication for five years. I’m worried now though as she has been asked to go for a ct scan to check ‘everything is in proportion.’ And I can’t help worrying for her they are concerned cancer my be elsewhere :(.

Hysterectomy Dec 2013, lumpectomy Dec 2014. Been NED for many years and am so grateful. I was on Ibrance for about 5 years-ish and stopped taking it months ago. Just on Femara and will be for rest of my life. It causes me no known side effects.
