Mary Ann,
Diagnosis received yesterday from the biopsy. Cancer in left breast and lympnodes under arm negative for cancer. Under arm large cyst. Breast cancer stage 1. What a relief.

Great when you get it early. Stage 1 is terrific news. I also had something similar - cancer in right breast, no cancer in lymph nodes and clear margins. The only thing I had after the lumpectomy was some hard nodules in my breast, which are called seromas'. They go away eventually apparently and are nothing to worry about. I've now healed fairly well and will be having Radiation Therapy. I don't think given my diagnosis and my age (79) I will be getting the Hormone Blocker and will only have 5 Days of Radiation, and no Booster afterwards. It seems that in certain situations this works just as well as 5 weeks with a Boost, in certain situations. In other words, not everyone who gets breast cancer has the same diagnosis, so the treatment plan will be based on that.
