Newly Diagnosed
Hi there... Well the last 6 weeks have been a bit of a ride .... microcalcifications on mammogram, biopsy, and then surgery to take a larger sample for a more definitive diagnosis to my diagnosis yes...
Forum Discussion
Well so much has happened in the last couple of days.... Firstly thank you to the lovely ladies who have posted comments......
Being an internet junkie i am amazed at the amount of information available on the net.... not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing... :-)
However I feel so much more informed now than i did before.. Having got a copy of my pathology report has helped too and i have read it so many times i think i have almost memorised...
I at least now think i understand exactly what i am dealing with.
Add to that two close family members dealing with BC in the past (one being my mum) I think has influenced the path i am leaning towards.
I dont want to have to go through this again any time soon so I am leaning towards double mastectomy and reconstruction. I am 51 and work full time I have 3 kids and 3 grand kids and a wonderful husband who will support whatever decision i make and help me through recovery.
Would love to hear from anyone who has been down this path
