paulina_gtzr Hello again, I just found this thread. I am way at the other end thankfully. I never thought possible to be 14 years down that road :) I too started out with DCIS, had a lumpectomy CLEAR margins, radiotherapy and tamoxifen. 4 years later the unthinkable, it came back! in the same spot! even with clear margins, radiation and tamoxifen. They still cannot explain how it happened, bad luck I suppose? So very blindsighted I had Stage 2 Grade 3 aggressive. I underwent another lumpectomy, chemo, I had Arimidex and then Aromasin. About 13 months after finishing chemo I was recommended to have a mastectomy even after all of this...which leads to the post that you commented on. It's been a super hard road, but I never ever thought I could be this degree of normal again, yet here I am :) I ended up osteoporotic and was on Prolia injections for 10 years. I am now off them and off all medication as of last year :) every day is a blessing. Trust yourself and do what you need to do. I'm sending great vibes for a return to good health. :) xMelinda
