Hi all,

I have just found out that my biopsy results are positive. I have a lymph node deep in my pectoral muscle by the chest wall. I had 18 nodes removed and two were positive durning my lumpectomy. I just finished chemo (taxol, carbo and ac) and keytruda the end of January and finished radiation the end of march. I haven’t recovered from that yet. I am in such shock over this!! I am told that I will need to start from scratch with chemo, immunotherapy, surgery and radiation. I did not tolerate chemo well at all and definitely not looking forward to doing it all over again!!

If anyone out there has a similar experience they would like to share or advice? This is such a long road to travel alone.

hugs to all 💕
