I’m joining in as another “me too, same thing”! (Mammogram, calcifications found in my right breast, more pictures…followed by a needle core biopsy a week later and a DCIS diagnosis). I’m 72 and actually had my lumpectomy this morning. After resting most of the afternoon at home, I’m now coming out of that groggy stage. Surprisingly I feel pretty good and although I have pain and nausea meds on hand, I don’t feel that I need them yet. 🤞I hope this encourages you! I’m praying that I get good news at my post-op appointment next week. The only thing I’m dreading now is 4 weeks of radiation after a month of recovery from the surgery. My surgeon compares my treatment process to ‘pulling up a weed and then spraying around the area with Round-Up to further ensure that there’s nothing (unseen) left’. I’m very thankful that I will not have to do chemo or take an AI. I believe that my oncologist explained that was due to the fact that my cancer is negative for ER and PR. I’m trying to educate myself on breast cancer and I highly recommend “Breasts, The Owner’s Manual”; a book that I heard about on this blog; the author is Dr. Kristi Funk. One last thing: I’ve kept my diagnosis pretty quiet and only shared with family and close friends that I trust. Cancer is so very different for everyone and I think it only increases the burden when you get so much (possibly incorrect) advice and dreadful stories from other well- intentioned friends. Love to all on the journey and God Bless!
