@plr I was diagnosed with DCIS after a breast reduction. They couldn’t tell if margins clear, just too close to edge and there is no way to know where in the breast it came from. I’m waiting for MRI, but to be honest with you, I am pretty sure double mastectomy is my choice. I know all the choices to deal with this cancer, but I am really focusing on what I can do to drastically decrease the chance of another cancer. I’m 63 now.

Did you have the same surgeon for each lumpectomy? Did you have radiation?
