Hi everyone

I met the surgeon last week following my diagnosis of DCIS in my right breast.

She has recommended a lumpectomy and breast reduction/ reshape as they need to remove a fairly big area. Then I will need radiotherapy.

They will also be reducing the other breast to balance them up.

I am meeting the surgeon again tomorrow to discuss further and get a date in early/ mid January.

Has anyone else had a lumpectomy and breast reduction and did you have both breasts done at the same time or one at a time? How painful was it and how long did you need off work to recover? I've been told 6 to 8 weeks?

Thanks

  • Hi

    I haven't had this surgery so can't help with your questions but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies. By replying to you it will 'bump' it back to the top of the page where it'll be seen again and hopefully someone will respond to you.

    Wishing you all the best
