That’s who did mine, he’s really lovely. I can’t fault the city at all and have had top treatment, I’m moved on further again. Was at the city last Friday to see a Dr McAleer for my radio, back in again on Monday for my ‘planning’ day then it’ll be a bit after that I start.
I guess only you can decide with all the help and support you need to help you do it. Have you to let him know by this week? So if you decide mastectomy and recon on same day would that be the surgery part finished?

Yeah I get that but tbh I hadn’t thought much about the DCIS being graded or even getting that report for some reason before i went in
Well I am going to opt for implant . Thought long and hard.
But need to see on Wednesday how
they go about this etc
I mean who knows what he will find when he does operation etc.
I am feeling anxious about that part. Can he do implant will i need more treatment is it in nodes so many things are going round in my head . I am struggling with this part.
I honestly can’t make head of tail of it all and so on turn is sending me off again again down anxiety road.
He thinks this is best for me at present as dcis is extensive and he recommends I go this route.
If I needed further treatment implant in at time off mastectomy would cause more problems. He could go ahead with implant if I wanted. I asked him what he would recommend for me and he said expander so I am taking his advice.
So now waiting on date of surgery should know in next 5days when that is.
Nurse talked me through it all . But any of you been down that road off masectomy expander fills be grateful if you could let me know your experiences.
Had the surgery Monday got out off hospital yesterday. So it’s one week today from op.
All went ok. So glad to be home. Doing my exercises and taking it easy. Walking around using arm ok but not lifting anything. Sleeping upright but if a pain. Plenty of support and help. Fingers crossed the recovery goes well.
Just waiting on and dreading results from pathology hug h grade dcis but just worried you never know what could show up or lurking .
So my consultant is off this week so be next week i will get letter to go get results. So in last 21days i have been diagnosed biopsy scan and mastectomy node removal . Unreal. I can’t get my head round that so quick but so glad that part is all done.
Any tips post operation most welcome .
Hope everything going well with u all in recovery and surgery.
Thanks again to you all as usual.
Does anyone know if it was only high grade dcis what next treatment would be really grateful for any replies.
Will ring bc nurse but was wondering procedure to follow i am sure they told me but brain is mush. Just home with the steri strips on was told they curl up come off. Showered from waist down . Washed too half avoided would and my sister washed my hair today lol
Hi Lucia, glad your op went well. I think if it’s only high grade DCIS it will possibly be no further treatment. I was put on tamoxifen for 5 years but think that was because they found a 3mm invasive hormone + tumour during the operation, no mode involvement. Hope all goes well with your results.

Anyone advise, have had WLE and waiting on radiotherapy which starts next Monday. My steri strips didn’t fall off so they were took off on Friday, meaning I just saw my scar for first then (3 weeks later) Scar is perfect and nothing wrong with it but guess it all sunk in and made it real. Don’t mean to sound dramatic, head has been mush the last week and was wondering when it’ll come clear or anyone else have the delayed reaction.
Thank you, yeah it has all happened so quick and I think I have been in auto pilot for most of it. I’m grateful it’s gone and I only have radiotherapy and genetics to go through. Like you there’s been other stuff, so I’ll maybe think about the counselling route. My boss is doing my head in too and a simple text from her yesterday (sun) set me off. Think it’s the ‘but it’s gone, you’re supposed to be jumping for joy and back to normal’ kinda comments or similar being implied.
Thank you so much for today, I just replied thank you so the next time it will be something more but still polite. Happier knowing the way I feel is kinda normal.
