I’ve posted in various places and had some great help and lovely replies, so just wanted to let you all know that, today, my partner went to see the consultant for her first post-mastectomy visit and to get her histology results.
No spread to lymph nodes; DCIS only; no further treatment necessary. He also looked at the swelling that has been coming and going and said that it was fine and would reabsorb in its own time.
