1st stage of journey Tara found a lump back at the start of January got a referral for a mammogram and ultrasound which confirmed she had a tumor so the specialist did a biopsy straight away and she had a doctor's appointment which the results were breast cancer, she has an invasive grade 2 and grade 3.
she had a specialist appointment today to go over surgery and treatment options.
CT scan being ordered to look for more cancer cells
She has had another biopsy to check lymph nodes under her arm
2nd stage of journey..(Done).Surgery is to remove lump and lymph nodes
Chemo and radiation to follow surgery
3rd stage of journey She will be starting chemo she is having 2 different types of chemo the first one will be 4 rounds 3 weeks apart then she will cross over onto the other type which will be every week for 8 weeks then have a break then straight into 5 weeks of radiation.
