My misses had hers cut out and also her glands removed from under her armpit and then she had 4 weeks of Radio Therepy and she also has to take a hormone tablet for the next 5 years.

The treatment today is so much better than what it was when my dad died from it so im sure your wife will be fine.

I wish her all the best and stay strong for her buddy cause she will need you like nothing else, It affects all the family involved and is hard to face up to, but the real joy is when you know she is clear after all the mamograms and treament she goes through.

All the best to your whole family
