newly diagnosed

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 37 yr old mother of 2 beautiful children, a 9 yr old daughter and a 6 yr old son. On 30th July I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Initially my head was spinning and I was more emotional than I ever have been (including pregnancy) but after speaking to my breast care nurse I seem to be getting my head around it (well as much as you can).

I have been to see my surgeon and he has booked me in for a  MRI because I have  Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. I have rather large boobs.... g cup and he is advising a breast reduction type surgery. Has anyone had this type of surgery?

Thanks

    hi there, 

    Short answer, no I haven't but I've had 2 x wide excisions (lumpectomies) then chemo and now just had bilateral masectomy (with reconstruction underway too).

     
    Good luck babe, i'm in Brisbane and have really loved the expert and professional support and advice from my medical team and support services of Choices at Wesley Hospital (for any patients) and Cancer Council, etc.
     
    Take care and ask questions, get second opinions if you want, and feel comfortable with your treatment plan and team! There is a great chance that most of us have a fantastic recovery and get on with being happy and healthy!!
