I’m 54 and don’t know where to start with all of this . I had a recall letter after a routine mammogram just 4 weeks ago. I then had a further mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy. I week later we were back at the hospital when I was told that I have grade 2 breast cancer, 5 minutes later we were talking to a surgeon. It’s all been such a shock, nobody in my family has had breast cancer.
Since the diagnosis I’ve had a contrast mammogram and further biopsies. The result of the biopsy showed pre cancerous changes. Soooooo we met up with the surgeon again & I’ve been given 4 different options for surgery.
Hiya I can totally relate to your experience, I was diagnoised in early November with DCIS positive for cancer in right breast and DCIS benign in left breast, im having a double mastectomy on wednesy 3rd Dec and tbh I still can't quite believe it, we can chat about it together if you like
I’d like that!! I was hoping to get a call today with a surgery date. Maybe tomorrow.
Do you mind me asking how old you are??
