Further diagnosis details following surgeon meeting - gd 2-3 DCIS/IDC
So met the surgeon today and have a bit more of a clearer diagnosis..
Not given me a stage as I have to have CT scan and bone scan Wednesday and blood tests to check it’s not spread past lymph nodes ( another anxious wait where every ache I’m convinced the worst)
But it’s a 3.5cm lump on ultrasound but surgeon says around 4cm. Grade 2-3 combination of DCIS/IDC.
ER - PR- Her 2 +
Surgery booked for 02/07/18 - mastectomy with immediate implant recon and axillary node clearance ,then chemo with Herceptin and possible radiotherapy after.
I was upset about this and hasn’t really prepared for the mastectomy word as was hoping I could have a lumpectomy but trust my surgeon
I dont really know what any of it really means even though I’ve spent 2.5 hrs there with them...not sure I was in the frame of mind as just kept giving me so much information
Meeting surgeon again Thursday to go through CT/bone scan results....hoping they come back ok if anyone has similar to me I’d appreciate some comments or thoughts
Thanks in advance xoxo
