Hi there @onemargie. Thanks for replying . I’ve had one of my long dark mornings of no sleep lots of thoughts ......
Thanks for sharing your journey , wishing you the best . I am still learning where to click on this site so far it’s been great . Each story is so different ., I like the sound of your approach and appreciate your comment as a nurse not having patience . My friends dad ( got cancer at the age of 35 he is now 70)enlightened me last week that they call us patients this is for a reason .... you must have patience as there is always more waiting and more testing !!!! He is so right !
My surgeon said the MRI would now give a false in accurate reading due to surgeries and also DCIS may not present itself as it didn’t on my other scans , mammogramne and ultrasound .
She also confirmed at this stage mastectomy and lumpectomy in my case will give the same result as it hasn’t spread and she insists a mastectomy is not necessary for what she is treating . Breast care nurse elaborated in this in a discussion with me also telling me it was still my decision .
My mind is clearer since my first post . Thanks for your specific comments I take all of it onboard . I admire your strength good girl !!!!
Anyway let’s see third time lucky for margins ....
all the best to you sending love xx
