Surgery options & decisions
I have just been recently diagnosed with early breast cancer, stage 1, grade 1. I had my first appointment, the team were great with explaining everything though I must say it’s been very overwhelming...

Hi @Ella123 i had similar situation to you with Stage 1 Grade 1. Was given all the menu of options to start with and just couldn't decide as i had a small turmor in one spot and then DCIS in another spot and the surgeon was not 100% sure she could get it all with a lumpectomy. I then had an MRI at her suggestion and my big cost to help with my decision and was lucky I did as they found another area of DCIS and it was decided mastectomy was the only way to get it all. Probably my only regret now is not having the reconstruction done at the time because the thought of going back for more surgery is a bit daunting for me. My husband / family had lots of advice but you have to go with your gut feeling of what you want done to your own body. It certainly is decision and information overload at the beginning. Good luck xx
