Hello...I had an ultrasound for left armpit & a Biopsy & that's how they found out cancerous cells in Lymps first..& then they gave me a Breast MRI where they found 1 3cm in Left brest & 2 1 cm in Right Brest..after biopsies of both breast, findings were both masses in Right breast were Benign but the Left was cancer cells...
I found all this out within the last 2 weeks..so I have an appointment thus Monday coming to speak with a Breast Cancer physician..I guess to discuss treatment options...

Can u tell me what involves a lympectomy? & what was ur experience?

When I had a lumpectomy, it was taken outpatient and they gave me meds and instruction and it wasn’t too bad. I think I did take take a few analgesics. It really was not as bad as I feared. The worst part was waiting for the unknown, and mine was pretty big.
I pray your is as easy as mine. So is your surgery Monday or your consult with the surgeon on Monday?

My lumpectomy was outpatient as well. The mass I had was the size of a walnut and my surgeon took out about the size of a lemon. The surgery and recovery was not too bad but the waiting for the biopsy results was extremely hard.
Are they planning to remove the cancer cells in your left breast? Or do you know yet?
Since you know it has spread to your Lymph nodes, I wonder what treatment they will recommend?
Good luck and positive thoughts coming you way! Keep us posted.
