Hi

I too am 44 and was diagnosed with DCIS three weeks ago. Last week I had a CT and bone scan and was told that my lymph nodes were enlarged so I would need them removing when I had a mastectomy. I'm just waiting for an appointment to see the surgeon but it feels like I've been waiting for ages - I hate feeling like I'm in the dark.

if you are worried jean ask the nurses I found my tumour end of may only got operated on the 3rd of September my tissue is not clear I think maybe it would not have spread if tumour was removed in 4 weeks instead of 10 I don’t know jean I have the cold to make things worse my nose all red they may cancel it tells you if you catch the cold tell them I will see how  I am in the morning this is all I need operation delayed jean x
