I was diagnosed with a high grade 8cm DCIS in the right breast in October 2021. There was no option but to have a mastectomy, I had a MRI and a small amount calcification was also found in the left breast. I decided to have a bilateral mastectomy with implants, and after discussions with my surgeon in was agreed they would do this. I turned 70 at the end of January. Finally had the surgery on 2nd February, nearly 3 months after diagnosis because of the Christmas New Year delay and COVID. The waiting was brutal and ruined Christmas and my big birthday.
I am currently in hospital 3 days after surgery and I am feeling very well I hope to go home on Monday. The doctors and nurses have been amazing I have hardly any pain and so thankful this was found so early.
