Hi Trinny sorry you had to join us. When i was diagnosed at nambour 2 years ago they didnt do recon on the sunshine coast and i was dead set on immediate recon. The breast nurse at nambour sent urgent referrals to both Rbwh and Mater. She said see which one rings first. First Initial appointment was mater but i also went to rbwh appointment and they ended up having the quickest timeframe. i went with that . It meant lots of trips into brisbane. By the time i went through the process it was 3 and a half months since diagnosis which had already taken ages due to xmas and new year. Im telling you this to suggest mayb your gp or someone can give you another referral to a different hospital if ur in an area close to civilisation and ur up for a bit of travel?? You can still keep your place at the existing hospital. . They all said there is plenty of time with dcis as its not invasive. Mine was all of 7cm and high grade I couldn't help panicking!!! But try to breathe and not panic too much. Keep busy with things you enjoy whilst seeing if theres a way to speed things up. Have you joined the recon group on here. If your ready its a good place to check out some stories from others who have been where u are including mois!!! Hugs. X
