I was diagnosed in March after a routine family history Mammogram found what they suspected was quite extensive dcis. I had a lumpectomy on 26th March and was found to have invasive tumours as well which were removed with the dcis. My local hospital decided a mastectomy was the best way of dealing with it, and I kinda prepared myself for that, but after some nagging from my family I had a second opinion at the Marsden which I must say have been brilliant. I had the sentinel node biopsy a couple of weeks and find out the results this week. I was feeling very calm about everything until today I recieved a letter saying I need to have an MRI Scan of the breast as well so they can make a decision on whether I need a mastectomy or a partial one. Not really got any questions just felt I wanted to come on here and see if there is anyone else at this stage in there treatment.

Thanks and hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.
