Hello @Blister, the ladies above have said it all - that c-word in the middle also says it all, you were just more fortunate than others in that it was caught early and the blighter had not escaped. You are still having some sort of treatment not given lightly. I had extensive high grade DCIS and my GP said "it is not cancer, it won't kill you" and to reassure me that chemo would not be required. DCIS is like any other, it can reappear, we are never totally free and clear. Lymphedema is a rotter, it comes for a visit, often the body's way of complaining about being fiddled with. Please visit your GP as soon as possible, don't wait. As for the BCN, like in all vocations some people are not made for the jobs they have - put her out of your mind as thinking about it will just upset you. All the best. <3
