In October 2015 I was diagnosed with HER2 positive carcinoma & DCIS but no spread to sentinel nodes. I'm normally fit & super healthy, no one in my family has ever suffered from breast cancer, in fact both of my grandmothers are still alive, so the news came as a massive shock. As the area of micro-calcifcation was very large 4.5x2.5cm I was told that the best option for me would be mastectomy with immediate reconstruction followed by chemo & radiotherapy.
