Experiences with

Lumpectomy

She then had a lumpectomy followed by 6 weeks of radiation that ended in early July. During the last week of radiation, she developed an infection in he wound, but on the doctor's recommendation we continued with radiation.

I had a lumpectomy 2 weeks ago and the pathology came back with a 5mm area of invasive DC, Her2 negative. I'm scheduled for another surgery to remove more tissue, as the margin was not wide enough, along with a sentinel node biopsy.

Had my lumpectomy and two sentinel nodes removed. The relief was overwhelming when my consultant told me that they had removed the tumour and had a clear sample, also no sign in my lymph nodes - it was the first time I have cried at any of my appointments.

My mother ages 67 years was recently diagnosed with stage 2A breast cancer in the left breast after a lumpectomy.. there was also metastasis to 3 out of 6 lymph nodes studied. She has undergone a radical modified mastectomyincluidng removal of all the lymph nodes in the area.

First time lumpectomy and radiation- 2nd time chemo and mastectomy.

I have my lumpectomy in just over a week, difficult to describe my feelings at the moment. Dreading the operation as I have bad reactions to anesthetic - this is one journey that I hadn't planned for this year!

Had lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Found lump in Jan 2015. Breast surgeon saw me several times then did biopsy in July 2015. Was told it was a tumour which is benign and they would 'keep an eye'on it. I asked if being tumours ever become malignant and was told rarely. Big relief.

I had a lumpectomy in July this year. They discovered it was lobular and a 2nd op was needed to obtain clear margins. That was 3 weeks ago and they told me last Friday that no invasive cancer was found following the 2nd op, just 'in situ' pre cancerous cells as I understand it.

Had a Lumpectomy and Radiation Treatment. In fact this was the day of my last treatment exactly 5 years ago. The reason I remember is because its my son's Birthday, he is 23 today. I am a former Mammography Tech and I found it very beneficial to understand my Pathology Reports.

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, she had a lumpectomy and they got it all out thankfully but she had to have a months worth of radiotherapy so I will be ferrying her back and forth to the hospital for that AND I start an open university degree on 1st October which I am really Loki g forward to

(Age 58) Currently she has been given a date for surgery (lumpectomy) which is late first week of November at TMC in Mumbai. I have few questions or concerns. I will really really appreciate some answers.

I had a lumpectomy in May followed by radiotherapy which ended on 16th August. I am starting to think about work, but still don't feel well enough as I get terribly tired still, and need days in bed when I feel awful (which are becoming less). Is this normal?

Had lumpectomy, radiotherapy, oral chemotherapy then 5 years Tamoxifen. 18 months ago (after 20 supposedly cancer-free years) was very poorly. Had pulmonary embolism and blocked bowel. Cause was secondary breast cancer in peritoneum. Had ileostomy.

However after lumpectomy and radiotherapy ending 11th May, I now have the orange peel skin, numbness in places, which I was told to expect together with all the other things. My breast is still swollen and is painful at times but expected..

Hi All, I am really scared anxious nervous about my next mammogram after ALND and lumpectomy left breast, I've heard it hurts after surgery, really don't know what to expect, I am 6 months out from surgery, and 3 months put from radiotherapy, so scared.......thanks x

Chemo followed by lumpectomy once he had strung the tumour. First type of chemos I had were for breast cancer and the did nothing. It was then changed for four more treatments which involved platinum based chemo. It shrunk straightaway! I had six chemos in all.

I got results yesterday after a lumpectomy and 1 lymph taken 2 weeks ago. I had a 12mm lump and some LCIS and all is gone now. Clear margins and no lymphs involved. ER+.

The kids are gone and I had a lumpectomy for breast cancer 8 years ago, so fingers crossed on that...I have been a singer and teacher most of my life and am struggling to find the energy to keep this passion going.

I went for my CT scan today knowing that I wasn't healed. However another problem has arisen that I have seroma in my breast area. I have noticed it is becoming quite sore also and aches. My armpit is also still swollen where I had lymph node biopsy too. Has anyone else experienced this after surgery

Had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy 5 weeks ago now. My biopsy wound healed what seems like ages ago, but the breast wound is taking its time.
