More about me...
Margaret was diagnosed with DCIS in 2006, aged 55, and had a mastectomy shortly afterwards. She was shocked to be told she’d need a mastectomy because she’d had no symptoms. Margaret said that one of her main concerns was lack of information. She would have liked more information about DCIS, why a mastectomy is sometimes needed to treat it, and about the different health professionals who treat women with DCIS. She advised other women to find as much information as they need and to ask questions.
Margaret was interviewed for the Healthtalkonline website in 2008.
