I was so encouraged to read your story and that you're doing so well and are back to your fun and regular activities! I was diagnosed with DCIS grade 2 in Feb., 2023 and just underwent a bilateral mastectomy 4 days ago at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix! (Area of concern was too large for a lumpectomy) I am feeling so much better than I anticipated after this procedure, which was my very first surgery ever in my life. I also had the sentinel lymph nodes biopsied during the procedure and am thrilled that all came back clear as well! No radiation or meds needed- just time to heal up, which is going quite nicely so far!

Yes it amazed me how well the healing went. I will say I had quite a bit of lymphatic cording, but I got in with a physical therapist who specialized in lymphedema and cording issues as soon as I got my drains out. She was fantastic. I still do my stretches every day just to keep things loose, but can honestly say at just over 5 months post surgery and I feel as good as I did pre-surgery.

Hello! Thanks for sharing. I’m in Scottsdale and would love to know who you saw at Mayo.
