Feeling so anxious....taking deep breaths...not sleeping well....I wake up with this awful churning stomach. I have DCIs ...and been told its contained...so I do feel as though I'm being soft for feeling this way. Think it's all the uncertainty...I am seeing the consultant next Thursday 5th May. I'm so up and down with my emotions ..I feel like crying. I do work part-time. Does anyone know if I will perhaps get a date for op next week?
Hi Dog lady
I think everyone here would agree that the waiting is possibly the worst bit. Once we know what we're dealing with I think it all gets more bearable.
I was recalled after a routine mammogram because they wanted to see if an area in my breast was DCIS. It was but they also found a small lump which was biopsied on the same day. The doctor who did the biopsy said it was likely to be cancerous.
I had my appointment with the consultant a week later who confirmed that the lump was cancerous and that the suspicious area was DCIS. The appointment to have a wire-guided lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy was made there and then and I'm having them this Friday.
I hope you get a date for your operation when you see your consultant next week.

I suppose having had cancer before it's sort of prepared me this time around as I don't feel so much like a rabbit caught in the headlights as I did when told I had melanoma.
I'm due to be signed off by my consultant dermatologist in June after 5 years from being diagnosed with melanoma and thought that was the end of cancer. How wrong was I!!
