DCIS

So sorry you find yourself on this path Bubbles, but you've come to the right place.  Everyone here is giving you such great advice. This road is a long one and hard enough as it is and you really want to feel comfortable with your surgeons and the team looking after you because you are going to see them often on this journey and with the craziness and uncertainty that breast cancer brings, you want to at least trust and feel secure with them on your side, otherwise you might resent them or be more scared than what you should be.

Also, a few months down the track when you have had time to comprehend your situation better and think clearer you might feel different than what you feel now, so you want to evaluate everything with caution and not make rushed decisions. Looking back at my own mastectomy, I am so happy I decided to go with that option because I didn’t want any breast tissue remaining in case my cancer came back. (I have a bit of a tendency to be a worry wort! Lol)

My breast surgeon and reconstruction specialist were both amazing in talking through options and explaining their reasoning which helped me make informed decisions. You deserve nothing less than complete peace of mind before surgery. All the best with your treatment, keep us posted on what happens, we are all here for support xxx Hugs Rene
