My pathology results came back . Margins are not clear . The majority was , but there is a 2mm DCIS and a 4mmDCIS . So re excision surgery booked for this Friday afternoon . This is the third surgery now .
THe disciplinary team met last week before these results were known . They don’t believe chemo will be a treatment for me . Because it’s stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma , not in my ducts ,very hormone receptive and HER2 negative . So the plan then was radiation and hormone treatment . So we still need this surgery to present clear margins to start a treatment plan.
I was first diagnosed 4 weeks ago . My prognosis is good but I keep going into these unknown spaces of time where it all doesn’t feel real . It’s hard to sleep some nights , the mind starts playing games . Most times I am positive . I am a single mum ( 12 year old daughter ) I work in my own business . Daily life goes on and that is why I try to stay positive which is hard when you are waiting constantly for the next results .
Anyway now hoping third time lucky for clear margins . Thanks everyone for your support it is really heart warming . Xxx
