Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment?

Hi all.
My surgery is tomorrow 😱 (10/24). My left breast (that my first doctor thought was fine) now has a diagnosis of DCIS and a SAVI implantation took place this past Thursday.

My right breast that was originally diagnosed DCIS now has three areas of concern - 2 are cancerous and one is about to be - so all 3 areas need to be removed thus changing the procedure to a partial mastectomy. Tomorrow I’ll have wires implanted in the right breast to guide the surgeon.

I’m going to talk to the doctor tomorrow about Oncotype DX testing and see what he says.

Needless to say, I’m bummed out but I’m glad I have you guys to talk to. Thanks.

@tctredwell1 Gosh tomorrow so this post may be too late but good luck!

Had you been tested for the BraCA gene?
Good luck with your surgery, I hope you have an easy recovery.
