Question on DCIS outcome

Mine was more extensive in that the MRI showed true extent due to my breast density - it was 5.6cm instead of 1.3cm (mammogram). There is such a range when it comes to DCIS I’m still trying to understand it and there just isn’t enough data out there yet. Because of several factors I opted for bilateral mastectomy and no regrets.

Wow thank you for the update . How was your recovery from the bilateral mastectomy?

Did you have a Brest biopsy in addition to the sonogram? They found DCIS on my right side. I was told it was 5 mm. The biopsy should discern if it is indeed DCIS or IDC (invasive). I’d be interested to know what your biopsy results were
