Yes core biopsy after mammogram and ultrasound - DCIS identified an due to breast density my surgeon said best tongsve MRI to ensure no surprises - surprise was it wa much larger and hence change from lympectomy to mastectomy - biopsy is only a tiny slice so they never know until after surgery what's in there. But thankfully mine came back as all DCIS. It's a journey from biopsy results to post surgery results it was 7 weeks.

I'm at 10 weeks and don't have a surgery date due to Mri finding another lesion.Now they want another biopsy.I'm probably at 12 to 13 weeks when I finally get surgery.Very frustrating. I'm 76,DCIS hormone pos.2 lumps so far one lymph node.Hope they don't find anything else.Started anastazole today.
