DCIS
I was diagnosed with DCIS in on July 15 and began chemotherapy almost straight away.
I feel that my quality of life has been somewhat diminshed over the last few months and not what I expected. Alt...
firstly let me just say thank you to Lynne, Deanne, Jillian and Jeanine for your words of support. i really am hopeful that come what may, I will get be given the all clear. My difficulty has arisen because I am confused about my diagnosis, firstly it was Inflammatory BC for which treatment is chemo and all the rest then it was changed to DCIS and I didn't know until I read the centrelink certificate from the doctor and treatment for that does not inlcude chemo - I have taken my info from all that I have read these ast few days. Surgery has always been part of the treatment plan for me so I am expectng that to happen toward end of year and I have thought of getting second opinion but can't afford to go to another specialist. I have a review appt on thursday 24/10/13 so I will at least be asking some questions, certainly more than I have previously - no longer in shock in I suppose. will keep uou informed.
thanks again
