@tapgirl, thanks so much for sharing, and it’s great to hear you’re a long term success story—how uplifting!! ❤️Do you mind me asking if your small DCIS surgery required reconstruction? Did they remove nipple? For me, it’s very distressing that doctors seem to have no issue with saying I should have radical surgery—they said it would be “partial mastectomy” because of nipple and areola removal for a 1 cm stage 0 DCIS. It is situated right near there, and they can’t get clean margins any other way. So, I’m determined to try all options first, but it’s incredibly scary.
