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.

Welcome, @prc73. I can understand how nervous you are. It's natural. And the psychological effects are real. I think you might appreciate also joining the group in this discussion:
- Can someone who’s had a mastectomy share the psychological effects ? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/can-someone-whos-had-a-mastectomy-share-the-psychological-effects/
You're not alone.
