Wondering if I'm taking the right path...

Hi, totally understand where you are coming from. I was diagnosed with DCIS right breast in Feb. Had a lumpectomy, found a little invasive and did not have clear margins. Second lumpectomy, still did not get clear margins… third lumpectomy found LCIS and still DCIS in margins!
So now I’m scheduled for double mastectomy in October, no reconstruction. I just want to be done and not have this on my mind anymore! My surgeon says chance of recurrence will go down to about 2%.
Go with your gut!! 💕

Thank you for sharing. Wow. I don't know if I have another lumpectomy in me right now. I definitely get the desire to not have it on your mind anymore. That's what a couple of acquaintances said their motivation was for the mastectomy.
Hopefully I'm on the right path to never having to do it again. I wish you all the best in your journey.
