DCIS lumpectomy - 3 surgeries needed

Hi, I had almost exactly the same process happen to me, with a few exceptions. I did not have a seed implant. But DCIS, Stage 0, Grade 3, diagnosed last March. Initial lumpectomy followed by two more, then a month of radiation.I had also asked if I should just have a mastectomy and was told that would not be appropriate at that point. I chose not to go on Tamoxifen which was offered to me as a follow up. I feel fine and will continue to follow up with my breast surgeon. Good luck!

Hi
I was diagnosed with dcis Stage 0 had surgery December 15th 2023 and just had my second surgery last Tuesday February 20th Sentinel node biopsy. My first biopsy showed some invasive cancer but my margins were clear 1 mm my surgeon was okay with that. Now I'm waiting for pathology they only took out one Sentinel node that lit up. Supposed to be starting radiation in 2 weeks. I just wondered I know it's a personal decision and my doctor wants me to do tamoxifen I am 65 because I have other health issues the AIS he said are not appropriate. Its confusing to know what the right decision is. Now I am stage 2.
