Do you have the details of your diagnosis? Grade? HR - or +? One or both breasts? Any architectural distortion noted?
I am assuming your diagnosis is DCIS, which is CONTAINED within the ducts, meaning it has not spread. When surgery is performed, clean margins is the goal, this helps minimize the chance of recurrence.
Have you met with your care team yet? Have you had any biopsies? MRI? US?

I have had the biopsy, and I go next Tue for the MRI and then next Fri to meet the surgeon, It would be great to have questions to ask I know nothing about this or all the acronyms and numbers being used.
