Distraught

I was diagnosed with dcis the 15th of January . Since then I have had multiple things go wrong . Developed mastis in February and been tested for inflammatory breast cancer atm. First biopsy negative but apparently hard to diagnose . I want a masectomy to end this but doctors don’t agre at this point . I suffer from ocd and severe anxiety anyway and every day now is hell . Any advice ?

  • I'm so sorry to hear what has happened since you were diagnosed with DCIS at the beginning of the year Lorr123.

    This must be incredibly difficult, and frustrating, but hopefully the tests you're currently having will finally be able to give you some answers and a chance to move forward with treatment.

    Hopefully you will receive some support and advice from the community soon but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    I'm not sure if this is something you have looked in to already, but you could always try getting a second opinion from a different doctor as well.

    Kind regards,
