Im 35, was diagnosed with Tubular pattern with focal LCIS in December 2023. Waiting for a mastectomy next week. I'm worried that tumour type and grading mught change to more aggressive after surgery, and therefore not allowing myself to relax or take reassurances at face value. Has the grade/type changed for anyone here?
Looking for how frequent this is and I'm not alone
Hi One Step - sorry to hear your diagnosis - try not to worry and keep busy whether it’s working or seeing friends and family - also don’t google either !
Where our diagnosis is concerned it’s not really until we’ve had surgery do we see the full picture. My care plan changed from not having chemo to having to endure 6 rounds. Whatever happens anything is doable and we just carry on and get through our rollercoaster of a journey.
This forum is great and everyone one on here are lovely so helpful and you will soon find out you are not alone.
I hope your surgery goes well next week x
