Had a lumpectomy and sentinal node biopsy for removal of grade 3 breast cancer tumour at Royal Free Hospital. Was told by Barnet General Surgeon that further surgery may be possible if the cancer had spread dependent on histopathology results. The results should have come after 2 weeks from the operation. 2 weeks later and the results are not ready I have been told that the hisopathology results frequently miss the two week target.
That means for me that radiotherapy and hormone treatment are going to be delayed. Meanwhile I may have remaining cancer cells circulating in my body that are not being treated.
