  • Hi jaykay2020

    I'm new to this too. Had my dcis Lumpectomy 3 weeks ago and heading for results tomorrow! Mine was thankfully mega small (8mm) and I'm grateful for the screening programme. Have been focusing on getting better after op and haven't thought re next stage until today. Trying to cram in info but really think my consultant and nurse will lead me through the appointment. Trying to keep to 'don't worry about what you don't know until you have something to worry about!'

    Not too sure I'm succeeding! I've found going for walks helps, building up further each day! Speed is not as fast as normal as the bounce is uncomfortable! 

    Just thought it worth letting you know you're not alone!

  • Thank you for replying. I have not been diagnosed yet just biopsies taken in breast and lymph nodes so im just scared while waiting but they did say they are concerned which makes me think its not good news. i did have a couple of good days of trying to not worry but struggling again today. 

  • No worries. It's difficult not to worry! I tried to keep myself busy so less time to worry. I hope your appointment isn't too many days. I was amazed at how quickly things happened. My surgeon and nurse were very easy to talk to. Have you thought of chatting to the nurses if you haven't been allocated a specific one?
