Just diagnosed

Hi I've just received results for core need biopsy (DCIS intermediate grade) and am seeing a breast surgeon later this week.  It's a lonely and daunting time and I thank the ladies on here for your advice and knowledge. Obviously from reading posts on this forum I understand that the next (surgical biopsy) might show a different picture and different treatment path. But at this stage, based on what I do know, I wondered if any Brisbane-based ladies found a good oncoplastic surgeon who did a good job with the lumpectomy?  And whether those with DCIS have done ok with the lumpectomy + rads or ultimately needed mastectomy due to biopsy results or recurrence? thanks in advance

Hi Claudia21

I had lumpectomy +rads  2 and a half years ago, my Surgeon is Prof Owen Ung, he is very nice, explains things well and you will feel comfortable to ask him any questions. My operation went well without any problems.

All the best with your choice.
