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...
Best wishes @averi and trust your surgeons. DCIS is as important as any other cancer. If ignored it continues to develop, my diagnosis was a shock to me and my GP. no indications no symptoms and after the lumpectomy on both breasts showed no clear margins and an 8mm invasive tumour, double mastectomy was completed. It's very hard to deal with the shock and impact but there's always someone online to talk to here.
