Hello vslaine, 

I just wanted to welcome you to Cancer Chat. You have come to the right place to meet other ladies who have had a breast duct excision and I hope that you will get chatting here soon to others who have been in a similar place before and who will be able to tell you more about what to expect from this procedure. 

I had a little look around the forum for you and found a few members who have been in a similar place and who I am sure will be happy to share their surgery experiences with you. For example, [@LizzyH]‍  shared her total duct excision story here and could be a good person for you to talk to. 

I also found that there is another lady here [@Duffer5656]‍ who is currently in a similar situation to yourself waiting to find out more from the consultant about a possible breast duct excision. You can read her story here. 

There is also this active thread about breast duct excisions which I thought might be of interest to you. Don't hesitate to respond to it if you wish. If you type the keywords 'breast duct excision' in our search forum function which is located on the blue banner at the top, you will be able to find all past relevant threads on this subject and there are quite of few of these, so don't hesitate to respond to any you feel would be of interest to you. 

Our nurses are also just a free phone call away so don't hesitate to give them a ring on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you have any questions about the surgery or anything - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope you find out more soon about whether you are going to have the full excision or if it will be limited to just one duct. Whatever decision the consultant takes, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes well for you. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
