Hello-I was diagnosed with grade 1 breast cancer in June. I have had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy which confirmed grade 1 and no spread. However DCIS was found in the margins so I now need another lumpectomy- I was pretty upset and angry but have processed this now. My surgeon has warned that sometimes the surgery has to be repeated again (her record is 8 times!). Am wondering when this will end but am grateful they are being thorough and relieved there is no spread.
Hi Dogmum40
Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery in May 23 and they found further cancer in one of the lymph nodes that they took so they sent me for a CT and bone scan in which they found another lump so I had to have a second surgery. They got everything in that surgery so I didn't need a further one. Hopefully you won't need anymore surgeries after this one.
Wishing you the best of luck with your second surgery.
Best wishes
