Hi @anjalima @windyshores and all,

I just got a call from Radiologist that my 2nd spot of 5.6cm is benign. and 3rd spot 2.8cm is DCIS. so now I got 2 DCIS - 1.2cm and 2.8cm in 2 different locations.

I am not sure if there is opportunity to do the lumpectomy instead of mastectomy with 2 DCIS >5 cm away from each other. will check with Surgeon.

This is the best news I have heard since Nov.

Hi pinkbean.
I recently had a bilateral lumpectomy. My left breast had DCIS and my right breast had 3 “areas of concern”. I think 2 of the areas were labeled DCIS and one area was “suspicious” and considered pre-cancerous. I still had a lumpectomy and all three areas were removed.
Afterwards, the right breast blew up like a balloon with fluid because so much material was removed.
It’s been 6 weeks since the surgery and my breast is much smaller now and I’m more comfortable.
I see my surgeon again this week and my 2nd-opinion oncologist and radiation oncologist next week to talk about post-surgery treatment options.
