Hi Twiggyjumps and all, this is interesting to me as I had a lumpectomy + axillary dissection + reconstruction (no implant) 10 days ago but was told this morning that they found Ductal In Situ Carcinoma with 2 Foci during the surgery in addition to the Invasive Carcinoma they were removing, now they recommend a mastectomy. I am in shock as the surgery went really well and I was so pleased with the look of my breast and getting my head around losing it is tough.
I am am picking up from responses here that potentially they could still conserve my nipple and reconstruct the breast?
The axillary dissection found zero lymph nodes involved so I naively hope/want to believe this means it's not spread yet...although I am have a CT guided biopsy to check out a mystery lesion on my spine.
