Triple-X BC. Lymph nodes clear; clear (huge) margin. Post-surgery i am 95% sorted according to my oncologist. Chemo/radio (only available treatment for triple-neg BC) to generally mop up what may be lurking elsewhere. Or may not.
Mangled breast following lumpectomy. The NHS approach feels to me to be a brutal approach. Is an extremely toxic treatment regime really necessary to increase my survival by a very small percentage? [78.5% survival after 5 years without chemo; 85.2% with chemo). It feels all wrong to me.
