Wishing you well . I was offered this trial option by my surgeon and was interested in it as I’m aware of the complications that can sometimes follow in terms of long term oedema etc from axillary biopsy. In my case I think I made in right call.
As it happened 9 days post surgery I suffered bi- lateral pulmonary emboli , which luckily were treated very promptly with an excellent outcome, although a scary experience. It was considered that these were ‘ just bad luck’ due to the hyper coaguability that cancer can provoke. In fact when my surgeon learned about this she told me she was glad I had chosen the less invasive vacuum extraction trial option, as she considered that had I not gone into the trial and undergone the conventional surgery , my post surgical outcomes might have been even more severe in clotting terms.
