HI, new, intro and questions

[Guest guest]

HI all, I am glad I found this group. I hope to give and recieve info

and support. I know in the beginning I will probably get more than I

am able to give. I am early 40's with a 2 yr old daughter, Diag with

extensive DCIS. Opted for bi lat mast w/immediate reconstruction. Gene

test is pending.Post OP I learned my tumor was 9cm x 6cm (thought to

be 3cm x 1.5cm) 4 neg nodes,no invasion seen on the samples submitted

but 2 positive margins remain. I have spacers for later reconstruction

as the PS was concerned about the margins during surgery. It took 2.5

mo to get on the surgery schedule and doctor is out of town until

12/19. He left town without telling me he did not get all of the

cancer cell and his staff said he did that so I would not be upset???

He left no info on if he plans more surgery or if I need an oncologist

for rad? If I had a mastectomy,no invasion and DCIS how can there be

any ductal tissue left containing residual CA cells? Any comments or

shared info will ge greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi ,

Your surgeon should have told you as soon as he got the results. That's

very unprofessional and inhumane to leave town without talking to you.

You need to talk with him about your next steps. You should also request

your pathology report, which your oncologist would use in recommending

your treatment. Even if you don't do radiation or chemo, I would think

you would consult with them to discuss your options.

This link is a clear explanation of DCIS and treatment options.

That was not very nice for the dr to leave town and not tell you anything, very

unprofessional. I personally would seek another opinion. I will keep you in my

prayers.

Hugs
