Hello all. Not posted here befure. 51 yrs , 2 x teen daughters, lone parent. Work in emergency services.
diagnosed in Feb witha 10mm , stage 1 grade 2 invasive cancer in right breast. Lumpectomy results took 5 weeks to come back. No clear margin in one area and upgraded to 15mm but was also down graded to grade 1.
second lumpectomy on April - waited 7 long weeks for results which I got this week. Unfortunately Another 15mm area of pre cancerous DCIS and a 3mm true cancer. Neither of which had shown on the mammograms. One area of no clear margin.
Offered a 3rd lumpectomy with or without a minor reconstruction (LICAP) or full on mastectomy. Previously I've been told the treatment plan, now I have to choose.
i think I'm going for lumpectomy 3 with a LICAP. Genuinely not holding things together very well. Have a boyfriend of 2 years that's not supportive and runs away to put his head in the sand. So I'm ending the relationship. Anyone had a 3rd lumpectomy? Consultant said I was very unlucky. This small 10mm diagnosis in February is becoming a monster and I'm pretty low.
