Dear Brave Pals, I had lost my Mum to Metastatic Gallbladder Cancer at the age of 60 within 2 months of no symptoms to diagnosis to farewell. So cancer is the most dreaded word in my family. Unfortunately, last month I was diagnosed with DCIS Grade 2 (with expansive Camedo Necrosis, ER/PR+ as per my Biopsy report). They…
Hi everyone, I’m really glad I came across this space. I’m 24 years old and was recently diagnosed with low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), estrogen-positive. It started when I noticed a lump in my left breast, which I honestly didn’t think much of at first. I think I was influenced by people around me—some of my…
Hi all, Would love to start a thread for those with DCIS who chose surgery only, no RT or HR meds. I've done a lot of research and am comfortable with my decision based on my pathology and low Oncotype score. I will have monitoring twice a year, once w GYN & mammogram and once w BS & ultrasound, so should anything change…

I just received my DCIS diagnosis on 2/20. My physician has ordered me an MRI due to punctuate calcifications seen between the two DCIS positive sites in my breast (which are 7 cm apart). Has anyone else had this?
I found 2 lumps in my breast in Jan. 2026, ( Mamo of last yr. did not pick them up) My Dr. worked fast, got me into a surgeon in Lewiston, Id. I have Metastic Breast Disease, surgery on Feb. 5th. Removing 1 Breast, yesterday follow up, to find I am " cancer free." The Surgeon removed 6 lymph nodes, 3 under my arm, 3 from…
I want to let all of you know that have had a BioZorb implanted during your breast cancer surgery that the FDA has recently made a Class 1 Recall on the device. This is the most serious FDA Recall possible. Google BioZorb Recall, Hologic BioZorb recall, FDA BioZorb Recall and you will read a lot of information about the…
