Had my mastectomy by choice have invasive and dcis grade 2 breast cancer.that was 2 weeks ago.Get worried ofter having more surgery on lymph nodes if they are positive.I thought they tested them while you are on the table so confused.worrying wether my grade will go up or down .Been quite positive up till now but then the doubt keep creeping in . whatever I am going to fight this I am 67 and got living to do 

  • Try not to worry too much. DCIS is the most early breast cancer and the chance of your lymph nodes showing anything is really low. I know you won’t rest until you know for sure. Am thinking of you - waiting is the hardest x

  • Thank you I have had both invasive cancer and dcis that's why I opted for a mastectomy because it was in two diffent areas of the same breast .I really appreciate your reply.Its Hard not worry it's in our nature isn't it .oh I wish it was over .I just want to move on whatever the outcome hope you are ok 

  • That’s just it, our minds can’t rest till we know for sure. Wish the results were sooner for you. It’s so much better once the treatment plan is finalised x
