High grade DCIS
After a mammogram guided core biopsy my surgeon rang to say I had DCIS and he would need to remove a small area which would probably be all that was necessary.
A few days later he did a lumpectom...
Thanks for replying Tonya,
I didn't realise how important it would be to have contact with women who'd been through this and much more, its giving me courage.
I was given the booklet, DCIS Understanding your diagnosis and treatment after I'd had the first operation and feel it may have been a greater benefit to have read it beforehand - or maybe i'd have been more scared.
I have a long list of questions so hopefully by the end of tomorrow I'll be able to start on a plan and I'm going to try not to rush into a decision before I feel comfortable with it.
