@EmCee similarly to you I was diagnosed with widespread clusters of DCIS on my right with one large non palpable area next to my chest wall in upper right quadrant.
I also had a 1.4 cm invasive ductal carcinoma ina a similar place on my left. Hormone receptive.
i opted for breast conserving surgery ... mainly as prognosis seems similar with radiation as full mastectomies and I am not quite ready for that.
the left side tumour was larger than they thought and had spread to one lymph node - I was told a week later they removed eight rather than just the sentinels.
the right side with DCIS turned out to contain an invasive beast which was not detected on mammogram, ultrasound or mri.
this meant I went back in yesterday for sentinel biopsy and will get results next week.
i am 52 and only just menopausal so i still have no idea what is in store - apparently margins were clear but I have to admit that the conversations were hurried and I was tired and confused.
i still don’t have an appointment with oncologist yet - my advice is take someone with you to every meeting you can and you can take time to make your decisions :)
good luck and keep us posted !
