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…
I can’t figure this out. Googling hasn’t helped. Does anyone know if Cancerization of Lobules (COL) by high grade DCIS means that patient had a type of Microinvasion, or not?

Hello everyone. I had a mastectomy for Stage IIA breast cancer in 2022. No nodes or metastases. Started on Letrozole in 2022. I was very fit and well till then.

I had Stage 2 triple positive IDC 10 years ago at age 39. I was treated with 6 rounds of neoadjuvant TCHP, a lumpectomy, radiation, and about 7.5 years of Tamoxifen. I was recently diagnosed with a small section of intermediate grade DCIS with microinvasions in the other breast. On one hand I'm glad it is DCIS and I'm not…
I had DCIS 18 years ago, treated with lumpectomy and radiation; I was 41 and premenopausal at diagnosis. I tried Tamoxifen but stopped after 6 weeks because I couldn't tolerate it. Now I have DCIS again, same breast. My sister was diagnosed with advanced invasive breast cancer at 39. I tested as BRCA negative 18 years ago.…
