I had DCIS intermediate grade. Had a lumpectomy but had to have three surgeries to get it all. The third surgery I went to a bigger hospital and they did an MRI. He was also a breat cancer specialist. I wish I would have went to him the first time instead of the first dr. Who was a general surgeon. I am doing the radiation now and am not having any problems. In and out in 10 minutes. Have 4 weeks of treatment. I will not be taking the medicine. Too many side effects. Good luck to you. God bless

Thanks for posting its interesting to see how different dr.consultant /surgeons are im in the UK
but my consultant /surgeon was very reluctant to takethe intiative and [was not emphatic about anything ,in fact she wrote down the medical terms -like papilliary lesions with atypia B3 I spent literally 3months studying or trying to gather info online -im 77yrs.I told her why didnt she just have said DCIS grade 3 -that was a year ago refused radiation for various reasons though now since it came back about a year later -im due to get a mascectomy the end of January-but im swithering as my Anxiety/stress is not good --among other things like havent had much of a life ---i now have another surgeon to proceed with the M-should I go ahead!!!
