Hi EmCee, I experienced a similar situation back in 2011. I remember feeling overwhelmed with weighing up my options and making 'the right decision'. I decided on a wide excision initially and awaited anxiously for the post surgery results. With "no clear margins' and high grade DCIS detected, I subsequently decided to have a mascetomy with immediate reconstruction. It was a big decision - as I never expected to lose my breast - but it was my decision, based on me accepting that I could live with the consequences (physically & emotionally). I don't compare or judge my past decisions - I just accept that breast cancer challenged & changed me. I am now a happier & healthier person. Take good care of yourself and keep in touch when you need to. Warm regards, Di
