I thought I had time.

Well i know I have been complaining about waiting - but given that I have been diagnosed with DCIS - I guess I had sort of been thinking this is not that urgent - in the grand scheme of things all things BC considered!!! Went to my GP tonight to go over everything with him tonight - and he is spitting chips - he says there is urgency about this and it needs to be done ASAP!!!!! I am now really nervous .... I guess I need to get on the phone tomorrow and try and get a rocket up the public health system!!! Wish me luck Cheers Chris

    Hi Chris I'm in the same boat Diagnosed with intermediate dcis in left breast with an invasive cell Or and pr positive her2 negative I too thought I had time to consider my options. I thought Had made a decision to have double mastectomy and was in a state of panic but surgeon told me to take my time to make the decision Went to gp and he said this is urgent and I think your decision is the right one That's when I had my breakdown day. I took a few days and calmed down and made my decision and tomorrow I go in for surgery I am scheduled for a sentinel node biopsy first then The surgeon is taking a large portion of my left breast including nipple and will reconstruct the breast Fingers crossed we don't find anything other than what has been diagnosed Good luck Chris with your decision making
