So was diagnosed end of January with (DCIS). Had my operation 15th February to remove the section of the breast affected. Had two markers put in the morning of the operation as two areas of the breast affected. I then had my operation. My results were 10th March. To be honest wound healing well scar was brilliant so was nervous about my results but thought it would be a case of send me on my way to radiotherapy jobs a good en see you in a year for regular mammogram. Unfortunately was told that the cells from the tissue taken could possibly still be affected and have to have a further operation on 22nd March although this may be put back because of doctors strike.
Mentally I had just got my head around the diagnosis and absolutely being terrified of the operation etc so was in a state of being proud of myself and thank god that's over with leading up to results day.
It's now 4 days on from being told my results and for the first 3 days I was very emotional almost like the positivity had been drained from me. Why is this continuing to happen to me I suppose. Still not 100% got my head in the right place but know I have no choice but to be brave and go for it. The wait then is upon me for results which I now know you cannot be certain will go your way. Anyway sorry needed to get that down in words in the hope somebody else knows how I am feeling because although you have support from family, friends and your partner who are all amazing it's somehow other people in the same boat that you need emotional support from. Hope that doesn't sound too stupid.
