Hi all.  Still  believe it but I’ve been diagnosed with dcis after finding a lump in my breast. I’m  40 years old.  I’ve had mammograms and biopsies, awaiting further tests for more information. In my letter it says my next consultation will not be until August. Feels like such a long wait. Did any of you have to wait this long? It’s only the beginning of July now. 

  • Dcis is generally a better outcome. I would phone your bcn if you are worried about how long and ask why. From my biopsy I think I seen a consultant in about 2 weeks after with details of diagnosis and date for op x 

  • Hi, I had my mammogram on April 7th this year which showed calcifications. I've had two biopsies which have showed DCIS 2cm high grade and 3.5cm intermediate. I have got my therapeutic mammoplasty operation on 1/8. So its all happened quite quickly tbh. I went and had Magseeds markers in yesterday, so all I need to do now is pre-op which is on 20/7. I would question why you are not seeing anyone until August, but DCIS is not treated as urgently as invasive cancer, so maybe you could take it as a positive that they aren't in a massive rush to get you through the system.  Good luck xx

  • Hi happythoughts, yes mine took about two weeks also, the waiting is the worse. I was scared stiff with everything its not nice unbelievable too but stay positive it might be ok   take care xx
