Thanks for the welcome. I'm Jo from Gold Coast (originally from Nottingham, England).
I had a DCIS in my left breast five years ago. I had a lumpectomy and radiation. Everything was good until this year when they saw calcification on the mammogram. After a biopsy, I was told last week that the calcification is a cancer.
I have decided on a double mastectomy with no reconstruction. I'm due in within 30 days for surgery. The hospital team need to decide whether I will need chemo or hormone therapy as I'm in between the ages (I'm 52).
I would love to connect with other women going through whatever you're going through.
I will get through this with humour and quite a few F words!
