DCIS found after breast reduction

I also had a breast reduction of 8lbs in February and a 3cm grade 2 tumor (no DCIS) was found in the right breast (after a negative mammogram in December). One lymph node was negative. I then had an MRI with contrast to make sure there was no cancer cells left behind; then surgery to remove 6 lymph nodes that were negative. Finished 5 days of radiation in August. It is a huge shock to find a tumor after breast reduction surgery. I’m so thankful that I had the surgery.

@suze25 thank you for sharing! I too am thankful I did the surgery! Could they tell from your MRI your margins were clear and they got it all? Did you take lymp nodes just in case?
