The unknowns....

Tests and Diagnoses

Hi all!!!

Have really been struggling over the weekend with all the unknowns....I'm a nurse, too, so am painfully aware of some of what is likely to come ๐Ÿซ  but my brain is really overcooked rn.

Recent DCIS diagnosis (area is massive - 11x7cm) and awaiting my first appointment with the team who will do my surgery (mastectomy, reconstruction and evening up the other boob as well - ouchy!!). That much I know.

What I don't know (as breast care is not my speciality) is the tests they are going to do before final surgery decisions are made and to check out my physical condition. Can any of you help me understand what I am likely to have done over the next couple of weeks?

I'm also AuDHD and the not knowing is so painful I can't operate 'normally'....and I really don't like it.

Help!!! (And thank you all again....you continue to be amazing ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ’œ
