Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for DCIS.
About a month ago i did a mammogram and ultrasound that found a large area of my left breast had calcifications clustered, did a core biopsy with ultrasound guide and results came back DCIS high grade with comedo necrosis. Gen test came back negative so doctors recommended mastectomy of the left breast but since its a…
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. The side effects, pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, feeling low are really getting to me. My lipid profile is altered and there is osteopenia. I have been…
I had a bout of 1/8" dcis five years ago that was mid grade. Had lumpectomy good margins, but no rads as surgeon said it was too small and if it came back they could not radiate again. Ok, so fast forward 3 years, got another bout of tiny 1/8" dcis same area. Pathology was still dcis but higher grade. Surgeon wanted me on…
I'm interested in hearing from people who did not have radiation or hormone therapy after a lumpectomy for DCIS
Hi, facing another lumpectomy for dcis, and the surgeon explained they don't do wires anymore, that they use a wireless Identification tag which helps maintain breast tissue by targeting the precise area of cancer during surgery. (Not sure I'm saying this right…. ) Anyway, I'm told it's placed before surgery with…
I was diagnosed with a wide span of DCIS, Grade 2. I had a lumpectomy and reconstruction on my right breast and a reduction on my left, clear margins, no invasive detected. My oncologist recommends I do radiation but no hormone therapy. He feels it is not needed and will not change my long-term outcome. I am wondering if…
I had a lumpectomy in July for DCIS. They put in a biozorb device. Since then, I have developed what feels like a golf ball in the surgical site, where the biozorb has been placed. Is this normal? Any thoughts about using massage therapy to soften it up? I don't want to dislodge it! Thanks for your thoughts.
Hello! I am 47, I was diagnosed with DCIS (grade 2) last week. My second mammogram confirmed a small (3mm) spot near my nipple. I met with my oncologist on Thursday for my first appointment with him, pretty uneventful since I haven't had my MRI yet. I am scheduled this Thursday for my MRI and then meet with the breast…
I’m 1 week post mastectomy and just received results of focal duct carcinoma in situ, intermediate nuclear grade without necrosis. I’m low key freaking out right now and would like any information that someone could provide. I opted for the mastectomy after I had a lumpectomy and mammogram that stated I have benign…
Tomorrow I will undergo a partial mastectomy not really nervous but I am wondering how long it will be before I make a good recovery? Not sure what to expect in the next few weeks.
