IDC and Anxious

Hello everyone,

i have been diagnosed with IDC Aug 9th, during screening mammogram (grateful for that). Lesion is 17mm it is supposed to be early stage no node involvement so far after CT and MRI. ER/PR +, HER -.

After discussion with BS and PS both are leaning towards Nipple Sparing Mastectomy with expander because I am small breasted and he is afraid he cannot get clear margins. Scheduled for Sep 1.

this all has been a whirlwind for me as there was no family history. A lot of emotions and sometimes numb :( 

I am hoping anyone here who been through this type of surgery to share her experience. How was recovery? Is it painful? I know people heals differently but would help to hear from others.

I am nauseated from all the anxiousness that I feel.

thanks for reading my post
