Did your biopsy come back as benign with DCIS or malignant?

I believe calling it dcis means cancer. Ductal carcinoma ( cancer) in situ which means in one place,contained

It was called cancer..stage 0.which is technically a precancerous but it was considered fast growing do if it hadn't been treated could have been broken through the duct and become invasive

Okay so yours must have come back malignancy? Mine came back as benign so they didn’t say anything about it being cancerous.

Yes...I was told cancer . It was extremely early and tiny. Estrogen and progesterone receptor positive. So small they had to magnify it.in the mammogram while doing the biopsy. If your.biopsy was negative it must not actually be dcis . Just microcalcificstions. There are some that are benign and some arent.
