Well said —— I was on a spiral for my DCIS stage 0 -thank god my husband was able to reroute my crazy thoughts - I decided to take the wait and see method -despite being offered AI Radiation and mastectomy. I am going in my first 6month mammo -anxiety is tough but I will take each review and process new information. I urge people to take the time and do the research-get second opinions.

I was diagnosed with DCIS No invasive cancer low to medium grade DCIS In January couldn’t clear margins and went for another surgery to clear.
The surgeon didn’t clear margins. I had a second opinion after my first surgery and the surgeon said she would have never suggested surgery. My calcifications hadn’t changed in 5 years. She didn’t recommend any estrogen blockers. Mammograms will always pick up calcification which I have. She suggested ultrasound which will pick up invasive cancer. I changed my diet, vegetables, less meat, juicing , soy milk, exercise, green tea, and fasting.

The original surgeon won’t give me an ultrasound without a mammogram.
I prefer not to get a mammogram because I know the results calcification.

Going to get a Sonocine ultrasound which scans the whole breast not just one area. It will pick up 3 mm invasive cancer

Why treat DCIS like cancer it may never turn into cancer?

I have done a lot of research since my diagnosis and decided to wait before I have another surgery and take estrogen blockers
