Hello Koc64

I'm sorry to hear that following treatment for DCIS earlier this year you're now struggling with some pain. It's good to hear that you've already spoken with your breast care nurse and that you have an appointment within the next few weeks. 

In the meantime you could make an appointment with your GP for some advice on pain relief. Or, if you would prefer to chat things through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

Do keep in touch Koc64 and let us know how you get on on the 25th. 

Best wishes,

Hi Koc64

I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling with pain and can’t sleep.

Have you managed to get any help from your GP?

I have a hard lump of scar tissue after two operations for DCIS. Sometimes I haven’t been able to get comfortable at night. I have had help from the cancer care nurses at the hospital and therapists at the Well Being centre.

If I was so uncomfortable and couldn’t sleep at night, I would find it hard to wait until the 25th September.

Thank you for your reply. At present it is difficult to get a doctor’s appointment. Hopefully I will get some reassurance from the hospital as to what is going on. 

Oh no ….. fingers crossed that you’ll get some reassurance from the hospital. 
Take care x

Hi again Koc64

I hope you were able to get some reassurance from the hospital.

Take care

Hi. I saw my lovely surgeon yesterday. She wasn’t sure what was going on. So I am booked in to have a scan. She has also given me some antibiotics in case I have an infection. 

Hi Koc64

It’s good to hear that you saw your surgeon yesterday. She does sound lovely. I hope the antibiotics help. Do you have to wait long for your scan?

I have just received my appointment. It’s the 9th October, followed up with the surgeon straight after. So hopefully I will have a better understanding of what is going on inside the breast.
