Hello everyone

I was diagnosed with DCIS in May and has been receiving treatment, I am only just felt comfortable to join the group.

Currently on radiotherapy treatment and has a bit of pain, hardness  and discomfort around the area.  Is this normal?

  • Welcome Simplegirl.  None of us want to be in this group but we are.  Glad that you decided to join us.  Have you had surgery?  It might be an idea to ask the helpline.  They are really kind and very knowledgeable.  I have had a lumpectomy and auxiliary node dissection and have to have a second operation on Monday as there are still some cells at the margin.  I do have some discomfort but not serious pain.  I have developed a seroma under my arm which is firm but not painful. I am hoping it will disappear in time but the surgeon will take a look on Monday.  Apologies that I can't give you more information, but I do wish you success with your treatment.  All the best.
