Still struggling with the word pre-cancer after DCIS mastectomy

Hi Averi
Thankyou for posting
DCIS should never be under estimated
For me DCIS is Breast cancer as for some in rare occurances it can reappear as Metastatic cancer
We are told that it is stage O and not a true breast cancer..apparently does not have Her2+
But it is the precursor to Breast cancer IDC..
We are advised that if a mastectomy is given and nodes are not involved we dont need hormone treatment or chemo
For me I also had comedo necrosis on the path report..I feel this was one of the factor that contrbuted to the dcis developing into MBC
Advice is to be vigilant
Bright in hope
