Hi all...I wish we could have all met under different circumstances. My name is Lucy. I am an American and have been living here for almost 3 years. I live in Southbank. On 17 Janaury...my 50th birthday...I had may routine mammogram (I dubbed it Birthday mammogram; everyone asked me why I went on my birthday to which my response was why not? Afterall, I had over 10 normal mammograms up to this point). Anyways, the radiologist found a new spot of microcalcifications, so there was mag views followed by US then recommendation for biopsy. Saw breast surgeon who recommended a core bx, done immediately and 2 days later i was told I had cancer! I have Papillary cancer (very rare I'm told) as well as DCIS. I'm planning a mastectomy with immediate reconstrution if the PS agrees and if the node bx is negative (which I will have done prior to mx). I am considering the DIEP. Thats if for my story as it's only just been started. I do work fulltime so lunch will be diffiuclt however, I think I'm going to have some time off soon!
