Hi, I am a 58 year old female. I live alone and have two grown-up daughters and four grandchildren. I work as a systems manager/developer in education.
I am generally a positive person and enjoy life.
Having been diagnosed with Grade 2 invasive lobular breast cancer (left breast) in August 2017 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with an immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. Non-malignant lumps found in the right breast so decided not to take a chance. Biopsy on 2 removed lymph nodes showed no spread of cancer.
Oncotype DX test returned with score of 18, so borderline on lower end of intermediate score - now trying to decide whether to have chemotherapy or not!
