Thanks everyone for all your feedback and comments . I went to my go nomal doctor today as my right breast makes a slushing sound . ( had my 3rd surgery last Friday ) . I went to get the breast checked and found myself sat there asking many questions . Dr said to keep an eye on it it can be normal after that amount of surgery , seeing surgeon on Friday so just to keep an eye on it .
My prognosis is good treatment plan is radiation and hormones once we get clear margins . We are hopeful for clear margins but have been since we did the first surgery where we were looking for a 4 mm tumour that ended up being 4 times the size plus a satellite nodule . ( these were not on my mammogramme or ultra sound . )Since then I have DCIS and margins have not been clear hence why the 3rd re excision . So what if I have a clear margin on Friday how do I know that there is not more DCIS in the rest of my breast did we just fluke the margin . I know I just need to wait for the results as margin may not be clear and then there is no question re a mastectomy . Oh boy this is the time my head starts to spin in all directions .....
A core biopsy 3 samples and 3 surgeries in one month is taking its toll . I am in pain and just using panadol as I am a single mum and I need to function , I have a 12 year old daughter and a business so need to be able to drive and function . The Endone was keeping me too alert and made me feel sick.
Ok maybe now I have said it all out loud I can go to sleep .....anyone else have the slushing sound in their breast ?
Thanks everyone x
