Hi I'm not sure if any of you lovely ladies can help with advice as I'm still a bit in the air about my diagnosis. I was told I had DCIS following mammogram and two biopsies plus MRI week before surgery and had a mastectomy with two lymph nodes removed. Follow up appointment month after surgery and was told it was 70 mm DCIS and 2 mm IDC and lymph nodes were clear. A lot of ladies talk about grades, stages and numbers regarding postitive, negative. I was never told anything apart from the size of the lumps after surgery and that I have to take tamoxifen for 5 years. Not sure if I have missed being told some information from my consultant or not. Thanks for reading.
Hi, I was never given a stage or any numbers, just the size and I knew it was grade 3, so aggressive and that's why I had chemo first. Have you had any letters from the consultant confirming your cancer, as I think this information could be on these. Maybe have a chat with your consultant and see what they say, or ask your GP as they should have your letters on file and can explain them.
