Hi Guys,

Nearly two months ago my wife had a subcutaneous lesion removed from her scalp. The lesion was excised with a 1cm margin. Pathology has come back and microscopic cells have been found in the margins. This is the only systemic disease my wife has had. She had had 20 brain mets treated by Gamma Knife and this is controlled. We opted against conventional radiotherapy to the lesion due to radiation passing through to the brain. My wife is currently on Kadcyla and Letrozole.

Has anyone had any experience of anything like this? Further surgery, radiotherapy and a treatment change are the options.

Thanks
