Hello just read your post and hope that you found a surgeon and have decided to have or are going to have your surgery? Let us know how you are going x. I am having DMX and reconstruction end of Jan, going private and my breast and plastic surgeon are wonderful. X
Hi, I have had my surgery - I was very lucky as DCIS was in very early stages and I had an all clear result. No need for Radiation or Chemo. Surgeon was fantastic at Epworth Freemason's (Private) in Melbourne. Access through a cut around the areola and nipple spared. Suggested to take Tamoxifen if want to minimise any future risk but I have decided to wait 6 months for Contract Enhanced Mammogram result as the drug has many side effects. All the best with your DMX and reconstruction. I have a friend that has had same surgery and she is all clear and super happy with the reconstruction and associated tummy tuck.
