Hello. I was diagnosed with DCIS a couple of months ago. I have been told that surgery is my only option (other than doing nothing) and have had three breast biopsies. I will be getting the results of the last one when I see my consultant tomorrow when it will be decided what sort of surgery will be best. Either a partial or full mastectomy. My initial thoughts when I was first diagnosed was to have a full one and just get rid of the cancer but when I first saw the consultant and she tool me I couldn't have an implant and would have to have a flap reconstruction it sounded a horrendous operation with a longer recovery than a partial so it now depends on what they found on the third biopsy as to whether I have a choice or not. I have been putting on a brave face but am truly terrified of the whole thing and will be walking into the consultants room tomorrow with lead in my feet.
