How can this be?

Hi Lisa,
My diagnosis did not change - it is all DCIS. The 2nd surgery was a success and clear margins were obtained. I am in a support group, not specific to DCIS but still very helpful. I also have a mentor that has helped too.

Wonderful! So glad to hear. ♥️

I have DCIS too, treatable but multifocal. The area of calcifications as a result of the DCIS is 14cm so they stated there is no way to do a lumpectomy. It is only a mastectomy in order to remove everything. I am so nervous about surgery and already dealing with the psychological effects. I went to MD Anderson the number one cancer center and they too said mastectomy.
