Still struggling with the word pre-cancer after DCIS mastectomy
I was diagnosed with low grade DCIS in my right breast in Nov 2019 and had a mastectomy in Jan 2020. I am 38 years old. I saw 2 specialist and both recommended a mastectomy because I am small breasted...
hmmm...can't say too much but I overheard a conversation between a surgeon and a reg not too long ago. They were discussing calling a lady back for better margins on a dcis lumpectomy case. Surgeon wanted the person back sooner rather than later. Reg questioned surgeon regarding the urgency (during covid when non urgent cases were put on hold). The answer came back as "never underestimate DCIS. It is not to be trusted... ever"
