Lot of similar stories to mine, here. (Have also posted to Macmillan forum). Just in left breast with two cancers, 9mm grade 2 invasive and then a smaller tumour, but both cancerous both with DCIS present and less than 1mm from margins. Right breast and lymph nodes clear thankfully. Offered MRI guided re-excision or mastectomy, either flat or with reconstruction, which I have gone for. However after meeting with microvasular plastic surgeon, I have been told that I am not suitable currently for flap reconstruction, so have asked for implant reconstruction instead -It feels terriblylike I have had a long wait for appt at clinic with lovely surgeon to discuss this on this coming Wed and I am really really hoping for a date for the mastectomy, one way or another. Then there will another fortnight waiting for the histology / pathology results to see if I need to see oncologist, for further treatment decisions, other than the hormone therapy which will definitely happen. I'm "fine!"

Haha I'm 'fine' too!

Beginning to wish I'd just gone for mastectomy in the first place. Will probably feel different if it turns out I don't require any further surgery though...

Good luck for Wednesday. Fingers crossed you get a date sorted.

Thanks!  Will let you know!  Hope all goes ok, for you - the waitng sucks, doesn't it?

It really does. I hate it. I'm getting tetchy all the time. I got really upset when they cancelled my results appointment the day before I was due to go in - results weren't back. At least they called and let me know instead of getting there and then turned away. Really hoping it doesn't happen again this time.

And no I'm not a 'tough cookie'! That phrase is starting to really irritate me :) x
