Newly diagnosed DCIS
Hi folks - I just got my diagnosis this morning and am going through ALL of the emotions. Seeing my GP on Monday for referral to a surgeon, but this site is huge - any suggestions for where to start?...
Hi! Understandable that you are overwhelmed. Last week I underwent a wide excision for DCIS and it’s been a steep learning curve.
Hopefully you have been referred to a McGrath Breast Nurse. I have found that extremely helpful, as my contact has been so supportive and a wealth of information.
So much useful reading on the BCNA website, especially the treatment options for DCIS, including the DCISionRT testing that is available. Be prepared for a number of treatment option decisions along the way.
Thanks! How do I get referred to a McGrath Breast Nurse? I’ve heard really good things about the McGrath Foundation…
