Hi Sylvia <3 <3 <3

She sounds like a very sensible surgeon.

Not a nice thing to have to go through but it seems that they have caught it at a very early stage and the outcome looks very positive.

Not too long to wait then.

We will be here with you.

OK, here it is


Just back from the surgeon's office.


Official diagnosis .............. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma

Treatment ............ Mastectomy on September 20, with examination of the Sentinel lymph node to make sure no cancer cells have escaped into the lymph system.

Further treatment after that ....... nothing, unless cells are found in the Sentinel lymph node



It was found almost by accident .............. she was very pleased that the mammogram clinic had taken the option of trying to determine the calcifications they had spotted on the May mammogram. They could have told me to come back in 6 months for a further check-up. Instead they did more mammograms and the biopsy, still thinking they were benign but with some uncertainty there.

It was not until the radiologist did the detailed examination of the core biopsy that they found the carcinoma cells


So ................... very early. So small that they have been unable to give a size determination.


She asked what I would like to consider as treatment.

"My druthers would be a mastectomy, and I've thought that for years"

Her response? "Good choice. It's certainly small enough for a lumpectomy to be perfectly acceptable, but you would always be worrying."

Hi all
xxx

Sounds like you had a harder day than me Dea....I wouldnt swap marking for kids!

I love kids really....when theyre not mine ;-)

You got the 27,300 Ginns!

Yes - I have survived - just about! Just going to sit quietly for a little while after all the excitement of the day.

We have been drawing, colouring, making cards and folders and bracelets. What she is REALLY good at making is a BIG MESS - in every room of the house for some reason ! :-D

All my shoes are out of the wardrobe - bits of snipped paper everywhere, AND we have been baking cakes so there is tons of flour and icing sugar which seems to have escaped the bowls and worktops onto the floor!

Thank goodness it's Friday - 2 whole days off for me :-D

Our Sylvs should be home soon - I hope things went O.K. for her.

See you all in a bit.

Bye Wall :-S

Tamarillos.... are smiley they are a fruit and are really nice.....

We have feijoas and Tamarillos, plus the kiwifruit that you cut in half and scoop the pulp out with a teaspoon... they all make good jams and crumbles.... but the tamarillo is the best cause they are good in muffins with golden syrup and then dusted with icing sugar.
