Hello Everyone
I am New on here as recently diagnosed with Invasive Ductal carcinoma , Macrocalcifications cluster - No lymph nodes involvement found on biopsy
My journey so far has been a bit delayed due to waiting additional time for my Biopsy results to come back , originally was advised by the consultant Radiologist that she felt there was nothing to worry about when she did the Biopsy's even after saying my Lymph nodes were reactive.
I have Lupus / MCTD /Pacemaker / IDC
Waited for MRI as i have a pacemaker so that took longer to arrange.
I have provided my family history of my mum having breast cancer twice , my Grandma had mastectomy and my Auntie all mother s side Aunt passed of cancer aged 67 / My brother had cancer twice and passed aged 54 / mother passed aged 77 breast cancer reoccurred at /40 first time / then aged 68
I have asked for genetic testing as I have two daughter aged 30 / 31 which the NHS seems to be reluctant to proceed to do .
Also I advised I would prefer a full bilateral mastectomy as do not trust they will get all the cancer even if small / or margins clear - But they discussed this in the weekly MDT to say Wide incision lumpectomy
Is this correct that my wish's and history has not been considered
Any advise welcome
Thank you in advance x
