DCIS

DCIS stands for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, apparently. This means that there are malignant cells but they are still contained within the milk duct. I saw the Breast Surgeon today. He looked at the X-rays and the report from the Jarvis Centre which pointed to DCIS (intermediate stage), explained what that meant and then examined both breasts. He felt some lumpiness which hadn't been previously noted, and has decided to call for an ultrasound scan before operating. It's likely an operation to remove the area will be performed within the next 2 - 3 weeks. If all goes well, I should be fit enough to get back to work over the allotment around 2 weeks after the operation.

Last night at Cell everyone gathered around and prayed for me, which was nice.

Now I'm off to dance class
