Hey ho, a mastectomy's the go
Went back for post surgery pathology results. Not one tumour, but two, or perhaps dumbell-shaped plus the rest. Whatevs. It's a mastectomy and reconstruction in 6 months after chemo and radiation. Lo...

So sorry you results are different then you expected or wanted. They sound a little similar to mine. Lumpectomy of the two lumps but left with the DCIS then six months of chemo and then bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. I didn't need radiotherapy though. I see you are a member of the Breast Reconstruction group so you'll find great information there. I guess you'll find out the when, what and how of chemo when you meet your oncologist. It's very overwhelming learning about all the side effects which they have to tell you about. So try to be calm and remember that you may not have any of them :) I was freaked out and imagined I'd get them all.
It's the next step of your journey Meg and every step brings you closer to the end.
Sending you hugs
