  Hi everyone.
  
  I was diagnosed on the 23rd September and had a lumpectomy on 1St October to remove two tumors. During my followup appointment I was told that not enough tissue was cleared, so more surgery is suggested.
  I was doing mentally and physically okay but with the decision of more surgery and the degree of said surgery which could be ahead of me has bought me here :-)
  I hope I can connect with or assist someone who is in a similar situation. I'm 29, have ductal breast cancer with no family history. I'm a rare breed I'm told hee hee.
  
  
  Look forward to chatting with you all

  **Updated** 29yr old. Ductal right breast. 1st Oct lumpectomy. Unclear margin. Grade 2. 22nd Oct Bilateral mastectomy - no recon. Moving on happy.

  Oh this has all been very recent for you Mazzi - no wonder you feel shattered! And with needing more surgery - do you know the extent of surgery yet? .. or do you mean there may be more surgery if not cleared at the second op?
  We have had quite a few members here who have faced this situation and know what you are going through (you're not as much of a rare breed as you may think ...). Hopefully they will soon connect with you and share their experiences. Also by reading stories posted by others in FORUM & Blogs and then responding yourself, this allows others to know of your circumstances.
  Also looking forward to chatting with you when the opportunity arises ... maybe if you're able to join in Wednesday evening Clickchat session this week? (we usually have between 6 to 10 people so is quite a comfortable place to chat and get to know others).
  Very glad you found us here Mazzi.
  Warm hugs, Glenys (Click Breast Care Nurse) xx
