Thanks for posting its interesting to see how different dr.consultant /surgeons are im in the UK
but my consultant /surgeon was very reluctant to takethe intiative and [was not emphatic about anything ,in fact she wrote down the medical terms -like papilliary lesions with atypia B3 I spent literally 3months studying or trying to gather info online -im 77yrs.I told her why didnt she just have said DCIS grade 3 -that was a year ago refused radiation for various reasons though now since it came back about a year later -im due to get a mascectomy the end of January-but im swithering as my Anxiety/stress is not good --among other things like havent had much of a life ---i now have another surgeon to proceed with the M-should I go ahead!!!

Wishing you all the best of luck on whatever decision you make. Both doctors that I had were very informative and explained everything so that I could understand it better.

Hello @loryann - I am sorry to hear about your various experiences. I can well imagine the anxiety and stress caused by the situation. I went through similar emotions; most of us have! I am not clear about your diagnosis the first time - Was it DCIS, Grade 3? And what about the diagnosis of the reoccurrence? Did you have a biopsy?
You are NOT alone dear; we all went through similar emotions and really feel for you. We are not Medical Doctors and cannot provide any medical advice, but we can help you perhaps in other ways. Please let us know more about your diagnosis and perhaps we can help you sort through some of the anxiety, stress, and confusion you are bound to feel.
HUGS,
D.
