Was diagnosed with multi focal DCIS in November 2022. Had bilateral mastectomy January 2023. They removed two lymph nodes on each side, all clear. Was back to running, weight lifting and all my normal activities by March. No need for radiation or hormone inhibitors.

I was so encouraged to read your story and that you're doing so well and are back to your fun and regular activities! I was diagnosed with DCIS grade 2 in Feb., 2023 and just underwent a bilateral mastectomy 4 days ago at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix! (Area of concern was too large for a lumpectomy) I am feeling so much better than I anticipated after this procedure, which was my very first surgery ever in my life. I also had the sentinel lymph nodes biopsied during the procedure and am thrilled that all came back clear as well! No radiation or meds needed- just time to heal up, which is going quite nicely so far!

Awesome comment. Thank you for this

Did you have reconstruction?
