Was your breast cancer misdiagnosed by a radiologist?

Thanks for your support. In addition to the ILC in the left breast as previously diagnosed, they now found DCIS in my right breast (at a spot other than the one that was identified on the diagnostic MRI for which they scheduled the biopsy) and LCIS in my left breast. No one answered the questions I raised as if nothing had happened. As they keep finding new spots, I am not sure if I should get a lumpectomy + radiation as originally recommender by the surgeon. How hard will a double mastectomy be for someone at 50+? I do not want to have reconstruction if I go with a mastectomy. Has anyone had a mastectomy and decided to go flat? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
