Hi! How long were you out of work with your DIEP?

Re; Dearest friend,

My name is Nanthana Chansithipongse, I want to donate part of what I have to
the needy through. You could be surprised why I picked you. But someone has
to do it. I have been diagonalized with Breast and Blood disease which has
defiled all forms of medical treatment and I have been told by my doctor
that my days are numbered on earth.

I have been touched to donate from what I have made from this World to
charity through you for the good work of humanity, rather than allow my
relatives to use my hard earned funds inappropriately after my death. Please
email me favourmicheal24@ymail.com with your contact information such as Your Full Names, Address,
Direct Telephone number and direct email address so I can tell you what you
need to do and also give you more details about my intentions.

Best Regards.
Mrs Nanthana Chansithipongse

Sounds like we have the same diagnosis. I am also DCIS, stage 0, but a high grade. Having a single mastectomy on May 31st, hoping no radiation will be needed. I wish you the same excellent medical care and support that I have had as I begin this journey.

Welcome to the site. You will find a lot of friendly, helpful people on this site. No question is too silly or dumb on this site. They are all taken seriously when they are answered. You won't find a better place to go to sound off either. That is what we are all here for, a place we can go to to sound off when it gets to be too much for us. I had the same thing only it wasn't invasive. I hope yours is localized as well. But for safety's sake ask your doctor to do and MRI. The radiologist missed a spot on my mammogram so the surgeon ordered an MRI for that spot and we found to clusters in the left breast that did not show up on the mammogram. They were non cancerous, but I still chose to have a BL mastectomy so I could be assured of no more cancer. I would also ask to see a genetic counselor to have a BARCA test done if your insurance will pay for it. That will tell you whether or not you carry the breast cancer gene. My doctor is sending me because she thinks I do and wants to do a hysterectomy. No way. Not until I am tested I said. It doesn't hurt to be doubly safe. Good luck with what ever treatment you decide on and most of all take care of yourself.
