I was diagnosed with DCIS in which means in situ in one place in the milk duct. It was first found in my right breast and several other atypical cells and hyperplages. I was scheduled to have lumpectomies. Then biopsies in my left breast under MRI found DCIS there. I had already had two lumpectomies there. I elected to have a double mastectomy after seeing how many a typical things would eventually become those that need to be removed. I had had over 13 biopsies in my right breast I felt like I was being stuck by needles all the time and I wanted it to stop. Now I am debating whether to have reconstruction or not. Remember this is my story yours may be completely different and you may have just the beginning of DCIS. I had a second opinion from a very prestigious organization and that's cemented my results. Good luck to you and keep checking and make sure you are getting the best care possible. Good luck!
Currently having first mammogram after lumpectomy in September. They've called me back several times for more pictures - now calcifications in other breast.
Going in to see doctor next.
Wish I'd had a DMX instead of lumpectomy and not have the stress and worry what will they find next?

What is a DMx?
What was your cancer diagnosis for the lumpectomy?
I’m thinking that’s double Mastectomy 😊
