Hi
have had lumpectomy , chemo, and lymph node clearance and I am currently undergoing RT,and being prescribed tamoxifen .
After last of second clearance I was told the results were clear ,whereas the first test showed signs of cancer ( in 3 out of 5 nodes).
So, after all of that am I clear and just being monitored to see if IT returns? Am I thinking too deeply here?
Sometimes the doctors dont give you enough re-assurance.who knows anyhow.
love
yvonne

Hi Yvonne - I think the best you can hope for is being told that there is no evidence of disease. They never say you are cured. I am about to start Rads - I've done the chemo, mx and axillary clearance.
Hiya supertrouper
just want to get over the last hurdle of my treatment and to have some comfort that it has been all worthwhile.Here's wishing.
Thanks Yvonne xx
