Wasn't sure what to name my subject.or where to post. But here goes.
I had a lumpectomy and some lymph nodes removed in April this year. Having been told it was cancer and there was a shadow but a biopsy was taken and they said it was nothing to worry about. After surgery I was told the shadow was DCIS had shown up in the margins. Had I not looked up DCIS I wouldn't be so bothered. However at initial appointment with oncologist this was skipped over. The letter to my GP mentions it. When I went back after having suffered through Radiotherapy and side effects from Letrozole.. The GP Letter makes no mention of the DCIS. I Know that's early breast cancer but it was still present. Then having had the problems with letrozole I was taken off it and still waiting after 5 weeks for side effects to leave my system. She said my cancer was low risk and that hormone therapy wouldn't benefit me that much.
So here am I thinking did I need all the stress of these past 7 months. Did I really need the surgery at that point? I am feeling a right meds still.
Thanks for reading.
