Hi--

 

Having lumpectomy/ SNLB under general anaesthesia on Oct. 3. Never having had surgery, quite anxious about intubation, effects of general, etc.

 

Dx last Thursday, IDC, tumor 1.5 cm, well-differentiated, tubular, ER/PR +, HER/new -

 

Surgeon says that in 95% of cases similar to mine, there's no node involvement. Has this been anyone else's experience?

 

I would greatly appreciate any advice or experiences!

 

Thank you !
