DCIS question: Does a core needle biopsy break the duct and cause the cancer to spread?

Some breast surgeons do not consider DCIS to be cancer.  I hope you can get clear answers from the breast surgeon.  

Also if you are going through the publuc system you can ask the breast care nurse to come to the next appointment with you to see the breast surgeon.  I hope you can get clarity very soon. Wishing you well.
