Hi guys
After some advice from anyone who may have experience in this.
I had a routine mamogram and calcifications were found. Had a biopsy under mamogram and a lymph node biopsy under ultrasound. Received my results last week, Lymph node clear but DCIS has been found and because it is a large area, 9cm but very fine, I have been advised to have a mastectomy as it was too large an area for lumpectomy and I will have immediate reconstruction. The consultant said this was as a preventative measure. She also said that she did not expect me to have any further treatment after the surgery. I have looked at my diagnostic/Treatment plan and I am also having a Sentinel Node Biopsy and Analysis. This has now terrified me. Is this normal to have a Sentiel Node Biopsy during Mastectomy? Has anyoone else had a Mastectomy and no further treatment afterwards?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
