DCIS, recent diagnosis

Diagnosed with breast cancer DCIS/LCIS
1

I have been reading the posts for the past few weeks, and have finally plucked up the courage to show my head.

I was diagnosed with DCIS mid October. I am just back from my second consultant appointment following an enhanced mammogram and further biopsies. I was hoping to have a more definitive idea as to what is going on in my apparently ‘busy boobs’! But it would appear that DCIS is a tricky bugger and those micro-fuckers (my pet name for the micro calcifications) don’t want to play ball.

So, I am booked in for a wide local excision on Tuesday, to see what they can get out, whip it off to pathology and hope that they’ve got all of the little blighters.

I’m going down the positive route (as the last few week waiting for the latest results have almost broken me). I may need more surgery, but they just don’t know. So, onwards and upwards. Big girl pants on, recover, enjoy Christmas and see what 2026 brings!

@claspe Wishing you good luck for next Wednesday with your surgery. Be kind to yourself for the next few days, good food, a nice walk, rest if you can, I always say one day at a time.
