Hi all, just thought I would join for some support really. 
I was diagnosed with the above last Wednesday, currently awaiting the pre assessment to have surgery within the next few weeks. This came from a routine mammogram. I am in total shock, trying to cope but hate the waiting! Just want it done. 

  • Hi Jules

    I'm so sorry you find yourself here.  The diagnosis is such a shock, its just not what you ever want to hear, is it?

    I was diagnosed with high grade DCIS earlier this year, I'm having my surgery this Thursday. Mine was also picked up on a routine mammogram, I had absolutely no symptoms.  

    The waiting is the worst, everything seems to take such a long time.  Try to take one day at a time.  It might sound a bit odd, but I feel as if its happening to someone else, and I'm just watching.

    My treatment plan has taken a little longer than most, and I wont know until after the surgery whether or not I'll need further treatment, but it definitely gets a little easier when yoh know what's going to happen.

    I've had lots of support here, everyone us very kind, and we've all been through something similar.

  • Thank you so much for this Joyce, it’s not odd at all I feel like I’m in a dream of some sort. Most days I’m ok, but today I can’t shift this horrible daunting feeling. I do feel lucky it’s all moving relatively quick I suppose. Best of luck with your surgery x

  • Thanks Julie's

    I have to admit I'm a little bit terrified, but it will soon be over.

    Happy to help in any way I can
