Had Dcis stage 2 with 1 lymph and 1 had micro. Took 4 the other 2 were no cancer found I also did lumpectomy with good margins. And radiation for 6 weeks and taking anastolzole for 5 to 7 years. I’m 59.

Had a small DCIS, stage 3, lumpectomy, clear margins, lymph node biopsy clean, radiation for 4 weeks, on anastomose. Hoping for the best. Just had 6 mo diagnostic mammograms done. Clean.

Hello, I feel for all of you posting here and having to deal with cancer. I have two different types of breast cancer in the same breast. One is an IDC ( invasive ductal carcinoma) and the other one is a DCIS ( Ductal carcinoma in situ).
The DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer where abnormal cells are found in the milk ducts of the breast but have not spread beyond the ducts into surrounding breast tissue. Since DCIS is considered non-invasive, it is, by definition, confined to the milk ducts and does not involve the surrounding lymph nodes.
So, chickenmom10, I don't understand why you have a DCIS with lymph node involvement?
Best of luck to Everyone dealing with this challenging disease!
