Follow up MRI
I was diagnosed with symptomatic DCIS (palpable lump). Do these MRI results sound like it’s pure DCIS? Any signs of invasive components based on these results? My surgeon wanted an MRI done and said I would need at least one more biopsy because she suspects invasion… Results: Contiguous T2 hypointense clumped ring non mass…

Possible Recurrence
I was diagnosed with Stage 1 IDC and high grade DCIS in August of 2022. I had a lumpectomy to remove both spots in September and additional surgery to get clear margins on the DCIS in October. I had 4 weeks of radiation and I am taking Letrozole since the IDC was estrogen positive. I had my first mammogram this week and…

The MRI I just had didn't show any of it. This is a result of a second lumpectomy. I have decided to have a double mastectomy since my cancer…

Hello Everyone. I am 48 and just diagnosed with BC on April 19th. I have been having diagnostic mammograms for about 5 years (twice a year). Ladies at the breast center say I have "busy breasts" cysts, calcifications, etc… Mammogram in March came back as a BI-RADS 4b for a lobulated hypoechoic lesion with internal blood…

Waiting is the worst….
This is my first post so I apologize If I’m doing this wrong. According to biopsy results I have both IDC and DCIS. Lucky me. 🙁 I met with surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist yesterday, but nothing can be decided until MRI is completed and HER2 results come back. I’m a mess and don’t know what to do with…

32 - Chek2 mutation - Diagnosed with DCIS.
Hi all. I posted my full diagnosis thread in the “Just Diagnosed” forum but thought I’d come over to this forum as well for some perspective from younger folks. I’m 32 years old, no children. I have two Chek2 mutations which is very rare and under researched. ( I got a mutation from both my mom and my dad ). My mom was…
