I had my DMX w/AFC and bilateral sentinel node removal at The Mayo Clinic with Grade 3 DCIS HR+ diagnosis.

Which Mayo Clinic did you go to? I considered Mayo in Jacksonville, FL, but the commute is 3 hours each way.
After this week, I am reconsidering. I thought I was happy where I am, until I was informed by the cancer surgeon that I WILL have a bilateral mastectomy and will lose both nipples. They found two more spots on MRI this week. I won't get those biopsied until Mid-January. The cancer is in only one breast. I got no justification for having to lose both breasts and nipples. I can' handle a double if there is risk that I'll have to go thru this with the other Breast, I really don't want to lose my nipples. Apparently, the cancer is deep, and the nipples are not at risk.
Mayo is starting to sound MUCH better despite the drive.
