Can a biopsy needle turn a DCIS into invasive cancer?

My tumor changed and enlarged after biopsy as well, but that injury related inflammation from the biopsy itself was gone by the time my other surgery rolled around. Take heart it was probably just your body trying to heal from needle punches.
How are you doing now? Do you have your treatment plan?

I am waiting to find out when my next surgery will be. Initially, my surgeon said I had clear margins but after seeing my medical and radiation Oncologists, they both agreed my margins are way too close and more needs to come out. Once that is done, the plan is for 4 weeks of Radiation.

Due to a couple complications/issues with my current surgeon, I decided to get a second opinion of a new surgeon and I see him tomorrow.
So hopefully that goes good and I can have the surgery soon!
