Sorry to hear your news. I am a few weeks ahead of you ... had my lumpectomy 5 weeks ago. My results appointment is tomorrow. The operation was okay, day surgery. I thought I would bounce back to work but actually very tired and brain fog for first 2 weeks. I then got Covid which completely exhausted me so have no idea what I would have been like with 'just the op'. Ended up taking 4 weeks off work but am feeling normal me now. Just waiting to see what is next is the worst bit. Possibly more surgery if margins not clear. The consultant said at diagnosis that he couldn't rule out radiotherapy- whatever that means - a chance I guess that I won't have that ♀️.Good luck with it all and be kind to yourself.
I hope that your results today were good and that your surgeon has achieved clear margins. You'll find it all less daunting when you know what treatment follows from here.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. We are always here for you.
Thanks Jolamine, unfortunately did not get clear margins so surgery further surgery soon. Good news was still DCIS intermediate with no evidence of invasive cancer so likely won't need radiotherapy . I am so lucky but still just want it all over.
I am sorry to hear that you didn't get clear margins. Still, you're better to find this out now, rather than later on. The best news is that there is no evidence of invasive cancer. Did they give you any indication of when they'd do your next surgery and are there any plans for you to have hormone therapy?
The worst should be over for you now, as you now know exactly what you've got and your next surgery should be fairly straightforward.
I hope that you don't have long to wait for your next surgery.
Please let us know how it goes and remember, that we are always here for you.
