Hello,

I’ve recently been diagnosed with lobular ER+ PR+ cancer in my left breast and an area of low-grade DCIS cancer in the same breast.

There has been a further biopsy of a lump in the same breast that has come back uncertain and the consultant wants to complete a stereo guided vacuum to complete further tests.  If this comes back ok I’ll be able to just have a lumpectomy of the 2 current areas of cancer if the vacuum come back as cancer then I’ll need a mastectomy. 

The process has been going on since the end of August, I am find the waiting, and now a third lot of tests very hard to deal with, the consultant has let me think over night on this as to whether I go ahead with the mastectomy rather than further tests in order to move things on.  I’m not sure what to do – as I want to feel like progress is being made but don’t want to make any rash decisions that I might regret as I’m unsure as what the outcome is going to feel and look like in either case.

Any advice or thoughts would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Lisa
