Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for DCIS.
I am new to this site and wonder if what I'm experiencing is normal. I had DMX with immediate reconstruction with tissue expanders on December 20th. My PS filled the expanders with air during the surgery, then on January 2 I had air exchange and saline fill of 250cc. I am 4'11 and going for a full B size. Anyway, I'm…
Hi all, this is my first time posting here and am so grateful that this forum exists. My wife has had an incredibly stressful few months to say the least. In September she went in for her yearly mammogram and a suspicious area was identified in her right breast. She subsequently had an ultrasound, biopsies and MRI and was…
Active Monitoring May Be as Good as Surgery for Low-Risk DCIS Dec 20, 2024 Two-year rates of invasive cancer were similar for women whether they had surgery or frequent mammograms, but more research is needed. Read more…
I am 37 and was recently diagnosed with DCIS ER+ and recommended to have a lumpectomy, radiation and hormone therapy.

I am American who has been living in a foreign country for 10 years, so I am also…
Has anyone had this? My primary tumor is DCIS, and no definite invasion seen from path report. But the one sentinel they took showed Isolated Tumor Cell.

In order to make that decision, I am trying to figure out how to make sense of my likelihood of being upstaged at surgery. One sticking point is microinvasion.…
has anyone refused taking hormones after surgery and radiation with dcis nuclear grade 3
The Dr. gave me the choice lumpectomy or mastectomy. As she said it was caught early and still inside the duct I picked lumpectomy. Surgery went well, no complications, clean margins, clean lymph nodes etc. Did Radiation and because of the grade AI drugs - Oncologist said 50% chance it will come back. She originally told…
Hi I had DCIS surgery to remove crystallised area about size of stock cube. Am resting and started the physio. I am keen to get back to walking and lower body strengthening. Any advice about when it would be safe to do so. Thanks very much. I am so grateful to be in this group
Hello Ladies, My Onc ordered Aromasin today after being in Arimidex for several months. My finger joints were swelling and painful, as is my knee and pelvis when I walk. I am still on Zoladex and had a Reclast infusion recently for signs of osteopenia. I’m afraid the Aromasin will be the same, hoping for some advise on…
