2 weeks after initial mammogram.I have just been seen seen in clinic after my core biopsys, I now am awaiting a vacuum biopsy, I have been told that my DCIS is 7cm diameter and high grade so probably need a mastectomy. I explained that I have had and continue to have lots of orthopaedic work and usually have IV sedation. The surgeon and nurse both told me that this is not an option. I also asked about reconstruction but was told that the surgeon will leave that for a year and if I still want this than it can be considered then.
I have large boobs 34GG and will look very uneven, I dont know what to think or do.
Hi mazzo99 I don’t think I had this… I had a standard wide local excision. They must be pretty sure there is no lymph node involvement so this is fantastic news.
good luck with it lovely lady…. You will get through it. Let us all know on here is there is ever anything we can do to help.
do you have a date scheduled yet?
