Disappointed, crushed, depression setting in!
With my diagnosis 5 weeks ago, I began my journey, High grade DCIS with 10mm close to my lymph nodes.
I met with the surgeon 3 weeks ago, then following week the plastic surgeon then today again saw the surgeon to get my dates for surgery. The Dr examined me, explained the surgery, then drops a bomb shell he can't do the surgery until the 26th May. Sorry you will have to see another surgeon and repeat the past weeks journey then try and get a date with her sooner? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
I think this knocked me more than the original diagnosis.
Has this happened to anybody else?
I've booked an appointment with a Private surgeon for tomorrow. I'm disappointed as I could have gone private from the start but advised this would not be necessary as I would be in surgery within 4 weeks.
I'm shattered :( :(

Make hast slowly after you leave hospital - on the drive home, be aware that bumps in the road will hurt your boob - so if you know any specific 'bad spots', grab your boob in advance, to support it thru the bumps!! Make sure you take your pain meds 'as prescribed' for at least a week .... don't let any pain sneak back in by NOT taking them! Keep your fluids up to flush the anaesthetic out of your system (it always makes me ill.)
take care xxx
