DCIS

Was diagnosed on 21st January, 2013. Had first WLE on 26th February, was assurred everything would be okay, nothing too serious etc. Results on 13th March indicated High Grade DCIS - 2nd WLE planned for 2nd April. Was infornmed that he would get it all out this time, so felt fairly confident.

However at the consultation today I was informed another WLE required - I asked if I could have my holidays first as this was previously cancelled and I feel I really need a break. Operation planned for 29th May after being assured it would be okay to delay operation by a couple of weeks. I asked if I should have mastectomy but told not necessary.

Has anyone had 3 WLE’s? I feel rather let down and all these sleepless nights are really making me ill. I an considering changing my mind about my holidays and get on with the surgery but knowing I will probably have weeks of radiotherapy ahead means no break for a while.

Would love to hear from someone in similar circumstances

I am curious to know the outcome of all this.  i understood that a mastectomy was the way to go rather than a third WLE.  I hope they got your DCIS in the end and the radiotherapy went ok. 

 

Sorry no-one replied at the time of your post.
