Re: New to this.. Just dx dcis/idc Scared

Glad to hear from you. I did speak to my friend about Dr. Heck and he had all positive things to say about him and says he has referred patients to him before. Dr. Singh is one of the most compassionate people I have ever had the chance to meet. He has been wonderful throughout this whole process. I would love to hook up with you sometime, that would be wonderful. I can't offer any insight about reconstruction, as I have not had any yet...not sure I am going to or if I even can because of my radiation. I did have to have radiation even though I had a mastectomy because it was in so many of my nodes, but if yours isn't you probably will not have to do the radiation if you do the masectomy. Someone here will be able to answer that for you. Take care of yourself and stay positive. Good Luck!~
