Does DCIS show up on a MRI scan?

@Lisa Janelle hopefully some other members can jump in, there are a few up in Qld. I think generally they wouldnt do an immediate reconstruction, but they could put an expander in until such time as they could redo the implant. Something you could do which I have done before is, ring and speak with the Surgeon to clarify those things or I have also emailed too as you are waiting til Jan 18?
There is a wait for reconstruction up there yes, but again its on a case by case basis, I was placed at category 1 purely because I had a recurrence at 4yrs and 1yr after treatment I decided on a single mastectomy as mine was preventative I was able to have immediate diep flap reconstruction.
Youre not being selfish at all, completely normal! so I honestly would seek a conversation with your Surgeon, I'd write down exactly what you need to know as you have asked here. M
