1st step in the journey
Hello my pink sisters, I saw my surgeon today and the outcome is that I will have a bilateral mastectomy. Apart from the main tumour of about 20 cm there is also calcification & DCIS throughout the ...
It sounds like you have a great team, and it's all systems go. I did the same as you - bilateral, chemo, radiotherapy - and a year later I am feeling healthy and well, and my percentages for recurrence have dropped considerably. There will always be the need to be watchful, but it's good to know that all that can be done has been done. (I also had a hysterectomy afterwards for more insurance.)
All the best with your scans and your surgery. Keep in touch. Michelle xx
